PREFACE. 


Tins  Dictionary  was  first  stereotyped  and  printed  in  1830;  and 
since  that  time,  numerous  impressions  of  it  have  been  issued  from  the 
press.  In  1846,  the  "Universal  and  Critical  Dictionary"  of  the  Com- 
piler was  published ;  and  this  smaller  Dictionary  has  now  been  care- 
fully revised  and  considerably  enlarged ;  and,  in  its  present  state,  it  is 
made  substantially  an  epitome  or  abridgment  of  the  larger  work.  The 
Principles  of  Pronunciation  have  been  inserted,  the  several  vocabu- 
laries have  all  been  considerably  increased,  and  all  parts  of  the  work 
will  be  found  to  be  materially  improved.  The  volume  contains,  in  all 
its  vocabularies,  upwards  of  67,000  words. 

In  the  preparation  of  this  work,  the  Compiler  has  endeavored  to 
adapt  it  to  the  use  of  schools  and  academies,  and  also  to  fit  it  for 
supplying  such  wants  of  families  and  individuals  as  can  be  supplied 
by  a  small  and  cheap  manual.  It  has  been  rendered  as  complete  as 
its  limits  would  permit,  with  respect  to  all  well-authorized  English 
words,  and  also  all  other  words  in  relation  to  \Vhich  an  English 
reader  most  wants  information,  as  to  their  orthography,  pronunciation, 
or  meaning.  Thus  it  comprises,  in  addition  to  the  common  words 
of  the  language,  numerous  technical  terms  in  the  various  arts  and 
sciences,  some  ^ords  which  are  obsolete  or  antiquated,  but  which  are 
found  in  books  that  are  much  read,  some  which  are  local  or  pro- 
vincial, some   which  are  peculiar  to  the  United  Slates,  and  a  large

PREFACE. 

number  of  such  words  and  phrases,  from  foreign  languages,  as  are 
often  met  with  in  English  books.  These  several  classes  of  words 
are  respectively  noted  or  discriminated. 

The  active  or  transitive,  and  the  neuter  or  intransitive,  verbs  are 
carefully  distinguished,  the  irregular  verbs  are  conjugated,  and  the 
plural  forms  of  irregular  nouns  are  exhibited. 

The  definitions  are  necessarily  concise ;  but  they  will,  perhaps,  b^ 
found  as  comprehensive  and  exact  as  could  be  reasonably  expected 
in  a  manual  of  the  sort;  and,  in  m:niy  instances,  technical,  obso- 
lete, provincial,  and  American  uses  of  words  are  pointed  out  and  ex- 
plained. The  design  has  been,  to  give  the  greatest  quantity  of  useful 
matter  in  the  most  condensed  form,  and  to  guard  against  corruptions 
in  writing  and  speaking  the  language. 

In  adjusting  the  orthography  of  this  Dictionary,  much  care  has  been 
used ;  and,  in  doing  it,  attention  has  been  paid  to  usage,  etymology, 
and  analogy.  In-  cases  in  which  good  usage  is  divided,  etymology  and 
analogy  have  been  consulted  in  deciding  disputable  points;  but  no 
innovation  has  been  attempted  in  relation  to  matters  of  invariable  and 
settled  usage.  The  subject  of  orthography  presents  many  difficulties, 
inasmuch  as  there  are  various  irregularities  which  cannot  be  easily 
reduced  to  consistency,  and  there  is  a  considerable  number  of  word? 
re?{)ectiug  the  orthography  of  w'hich  good  usage  is  divided.  Th(^ 
reader  will  find,  in  the  introductory  part  of  this  volume,  some  remarks 
on  this  subject,  and  also  a  copious  vocabulary  of  Words  of  Doubtful 
o-  Various  Orthography 

In  the  preparation  o^  i\i\s  v!OX^,  pronunciation  has  been  made  a 
special  object,  and  has  received  particular  attention.  A  peculiar  fea- 
ture of  this  Dictionary,   and    also  of  the   "Universal   and   Critical 


PREFACE.  5 

Dictionary,"  consists  in  the  exhibition  of  authorities  respecting  words 
of  various,  doubtful,  or  disputed  pronunciation  ;  and  these  works 
are  so  constructed  as  to  exhibit,  in  relation  to  all  this  class  of 
words,  which  form  the  most  essential  part  of  a  pronouncing  dictionary, 
the  modes  in  which  they  are  pronounced  by  all  the  most  eminent 
English  orthoepists. 

With  respect  to  the  pronunciation  of  most  of  the  words  of  the 
English  language,  all  the  orthoepists  are  substantially  agreed,  thoif^h 
they  differ  a  good  deal  in  their  mode  of  rq)reseiiting  it.  The  number 
of  English  words  respecting  the  pronunciation  of  which  there  is  any 
important  difference,  may  be  stated  at  about  2000 ;  and  it  is  on  ac- 
count of  these  words  that  a  pronouncing  dictionary  is  chiefly  wanted. 
There  is  much  difference  in  the  pronunciation  of  many  of  these 
words,  both  among  the  best  orthoepists,  and  among  the  best  speakers 
of  the  language.  It  is  not  possible  that  any  one  orthoepist  shouM 
know,  from  personal  observation,  what  is  the  best  usage  with  respect 
to  all  these  words  ;  and  no  one  who  is  scrupulous  about  his  pronun- 
ciation, will  be  willing  to  place  implicit  reliance  on  any  single  ortho- 
epist, but  he  will  wish  to  know,  in  relation  to  doubtful  matters,  the 
different  modes  adopted  by  all  who  are  entitled  to  be  regarded  as  of 
much  authority.  The  reader  who  is  desirous  of  this  sort  of  informa- 
tion, may  here  find  it  condensed  in  a  small  space,  and  be  s})ared  the 
labor  of  searching  for  it  in  many  volumes. 

In  relation  to  the  pronunciation  of  many  of  the  words  about 
which  orthoepists  differ,  it  is  difficult  to  decide  which  mode  is  to  be 
preferred ;  and  it  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  the  mode  for  which  the 
Compiler  has  indicated  a  preference,  will,  in  all  cases,  be  esteemed 
the  best ;  but  even  when  it  is  not,  the  reader  will  find  the  mode  which 
he  may  prefer  enclosed  within  the  brackets,  and  supported  by  ita 
proper  authority.

6  PREFACE. 

The  vocabularies  of  Greek,  Latin,  and  Scripture  Proper  Names, 
"which  are  inserted  in  this  volume,  have  been  revised  with  much  care 
About  3000  Greek  and  Latin  names  have  been  added  to  those  which 
are  found  in  Walker's  "Key  to  the  Classical  Pronunciation  of  Greek, 
Latin,  and  Scripture  Proper  Names ; "  and  the  pronunciation  of  a 
number  of  words,  in  relation  to  which  Walker  has  been  shown  by 
other  prosodists  to  be  incorrect,  has  been  corrected. 

The  vocabulary  of  Modern  Geographical  Names,  with  their  pro- 
nunciation, which  was  first  annexed  to  this  Dictionary  in  the  edition 
that  was  published  in  1835,  is  supposed  to  be  the  first  considerable 
vocabulary  of  the  kind  ever  added  to  an  English  dictionary.  This 
vocabulary  has  now  been  somewhat  enlarged,  and,  imperfect  as  it  must 
necessarily  be,  may,  nevertheless,  be  found  a  useful  appendage  to 
a  pronouncing  dictionary. 

The  Compiler  has  much  reason  to  be  gratified  by  the  manner  in 
which  this  Dictionary  has  been  noticed  by  many  distinguished  lit- 
erary men,  as  well  as  by  the  reception  which  it  has  met  with 
from  the  public  generally.  Although  he  is  aware  it  must  still  have 
many  imperfections,  3^et  he  flatters  himself  that,  in  its  present  state, 
it  will  be  found  more  worthy  of  the  liberal  patronage  which  it  has 
heretofore  received.

REMARKS  ON   THE  KEY. 


I.  The  words  whidi  are  used  in  the  preced- 
ing Key,  as  examples  for  illustrating  the  several 
■omuls,  exhihit  accurately,  when  pronounced  by 
correct  s[)eakers,  the  different  sounds  of  the 
resp(?ctive  letters.  Pome  distinctions  are  here 
made  whicli  are  not  found  in  nu)st  other  systems 
rf  notation  ;  they  are,  however,  not  intended  to 
introduce  any  new  sounds,  hut  merely  to  dis- 
cruninat(;  such  as  are  now  heard  from  all  vvlio 
Bjx'ak  the  l;uiiiua<je  witli  |)ropri('ty. 

2.  When  tlie  marks  c«f  pronunciatioTi  are 
afiixfM]  to  words  in  their  proper  ortliography, 
in  this  Dictionary,  wilhoiit  respelling  them,  the 
vowels  whicli  are  not  marked  are  silent ;  thus 
o  in  /.crt/,,  licar  ;  c  in  «/>//',  iflri'^  lidn/en  ;  i  in  pain, 
heifer;  u  in  indsun,  famuiis;  u  in  ihougk;  and  w 
infl^Ulnr.,  are  not  sounded. 

:?.  'J'he  system  of  in)tation  which  is  liere  used, 
wliih-  it  makes  a  very  evaci  discrimination  of 
the  dim-rent  sounds  of  Uie  i.'tters,  will  l)e  r<;adily 
understood  jtud  fMsily  rijiplicd  to  practice  ;  aiul 
it  will  also  he  much  more  easily  rememltered, 
than  a  system  in  whicli  the  vowels  are  marked 
with  fiirures.  Ily  applying'  tht^  marks  to  tlu^  let- 
ters of  the  words  in  llieir  projitr  ortlio;.'ra|)hy, 
the  luHU'ssity  of  respellint;  most  of  them  has  been 
avoided  ;  and  in  this  way  much  space  iias  heen 
saved,  while  the  prouunciati(ui  is  ti.xed  with  as 
nmc!)  exa(  tsu'ss  as  if  the  spelling  of  every  word 
had  heen  rejveated. 

4.  It  is  an  advantage  of  this  method  of  nota- 
tion, that  it  distinguishes  the  syllables  which 
receive  a  secomlary  acceiit,  or  are  jironouiu'ed 
with  a  distinct  sound  of  the  vowels,  from  those 


I  which  are  but  slightly  or  indistinctly  sounded 
j  A  great  part  of  the  words  of  the  Englisii  Ian- 
I  guage  that  have  more  than  two  syllables,  liave 
{  more  than  one  syllable  in  some  degree  accent(!d_ 
!  or  pronoun(;ed  more  distinctly  than  the  rest;  yet 
I  this  ditlerence  in  distinctness  is  not  made  ai)par- 
I  e)it  by  the  usual  modes  of  marking  the  words. 
j  In  this  notation,  tlie  vowels  in  the  syllables 
which  have  either  the  primary  or  secondary  ac 
I  cent,  have  a  mark  jjlaced  ovt^r  them  denoting 
I  a  distinct  sound;  while  tliose  which  are  more 
I  feebly  uttered  have  a  dot  placed  under  them. 
Take,  for  exami)le,  the  following  words,  which 
'  are  thus  noted  :  sun'shlne,  pa'per,  a.ii'cc-(Iote,ca.r- 
j  q-van',  llf.'er-al,  t)id!i-ife:,-tA'i'tiQn,  iit-di-vis-i-btl'- 
i-ty.  In  these  words,  it  will  be  readily  perceived, 
I  that  all  the  vowels  which  have  a  mark  placed 
:  (.ver  them  have  a  distinct  sound,  or  are  more  or 
i  less  accented,  while  those  whic'.i  have  a  dot 
I  under  tlieni  are  but  slightly  or  inc'jstinctly  sound 
I  ed  ;  and  that  the  [)ronunciatiof  is  as  clearly  rep- 
{  resented  to  the  eye  in  their  })'oper  orthogra|)hy, 
:  as  it  is,  in  otiier  methods  of  notation,  by  respell- 
j  ing  tlie  words. 

I      5.  There  are  many  cases  in  which  the  vowels 

I  are  pronounced   with  so  slight  a  degree  of  dis- 

j  tiuctness,  that  it  may  be  a  matter  of  indifference 

I  whether  they  are  marked  with  the  distinct  or 

indistinct  sound  ;  as,  for  example,  the  last  sylla 

ble  of  the  words  consonant,  diffident,  feeMeness, 

and  obrions,  might,  with  nearly  equal  propriety,

!  distinct  sound.

SOUNDS   OF  THE  VOWELS. 


C).  The  frsf.,  or  fnntr,  sound  of  each  of  the 
vowtls,  marked  thus,  a,S,t,o,v,  is  styled  its 
afpkabriic  or  vame  sound,  being  the  sound  which 
is  heard  in  naming  tlie  letter.  The  sound  of 
tlie  letter  //,  \\hen  used  as  a  vowtil,  is  the  same 
as  that  of  i ;  but  as  a  vowel,  it  l)Cgins  no  prop- 
erly Englisii   word. 

7.  The  hmg  sound  of  the  vowels  is  generally 
indicated,  in  monosyllaliles,  by  a  silent  e  at  the 
end  of  the  word,  preceded  by  a  single  conso- 
nant, as  in  fate,  mate,  pine,  note,  tube,  type. 
The  following  words,  however,  are  exceptions  ; 
namely,  have,  are,  and  bade,  the  preterit  of  to  bid. 


The  vowels  have  regularly  the  long  sound  if 
final  in  an  accented  syllable,  as  in  ba'sis,  legal, 
tri'al,  sono'roas,  cu'bic,  ty'rant. 

8.  The  second,  or  short,  sound  of  the  vowels  is 
generally  indicated,  in  monosyllables,  by  the 
absence  of  mute  e  at  the  end  of  the  word,  as 
in  fat,  Vict,  pin,  vot,  tub,  hyp.  It  is  also  tha 
usual  sound  of  a  vowel  in  an  accented  syllable 
which  ends  vsith  a  consonant,  as  in  aban'don, 
atten'tive,  ezhib'it,  lacon'ic,  reluc'tant,  hr'ical. 

9.  The  fourth  sounc'  of  the  vowels  i,  e,  i,  o, 
and  u,  and  the  third  sound  of  y,  (called,  witlj 
respect  to  e,  i,  u,  and  y.  short  and  obtuse,)  maikei] 


SOUNDS    OF    THE    VOWELS. 


11 


thus,  a,  a,  i,  'd,  it,  y,  is  tlie  shirrt  sound  of  these 
several  vowels,  wlien  followed  hy  r,  in  a  mon- 
'^yllable  or  in  an  accented  syllalile,  unless  the 
succeeding  syllable  beijins  with  the  sound  of 
;  as,  far,  hard;  ker,  herd; fir, firkin;  nor,  north; 
fur,  burden ;  myrrh,  viyrtte.  Some  orthoepists 
make  no  distinction  between  the  sound  indicated 
by  this  mark  and  the  proper  short  sound  of  tliese 
vowels  ;  others  make  a  distinction  in  relation  to 
u  part  of  tliem  only.  Tlie  v»%vels  having  this 
mark  are  pronounced  with  as  short  a  sound  as 
they  readily  receive  when  tlius  situated.  Tlie 
peculiar  character  of  this  sound,  which  distin- 
guishes it  from  tlie  proper  short  sound  of  tiie 
vowels,  is  caused  by  the  letter  r ;  and  this  letter, 
thus  situated,  has  an  analogous  influence  on  the 
sound  of  all  the  vowels.  Tlie  difference  between 
the  sound  of  the  vowels  when  thus  situated,  and 
theirproper  short  sound,  will  be  readily  perceived 
by  the  following  examples  •,  as,  m&ii,  mdrrow ;  mar, 
niilrt ;  — »//?«,  mi^rrij  :  her,  vi'erchant ;  — /In,  mlr- 
ror;  fir,  viirtJi ;  —  itdt,  bSrrow :  nor,  border;  — 
cS.n,  hurry ;  fi'ir,  hh'trdle.  There  is  little  or  no 
diffjreuce  in  the  s<»unds  of  the  vowels  e,  i,  u, 
and  y,  wiken  under  this  mark  ;  as,  h'cr,f'ir,f\ir, 
myrrh  ;  but  their  proper  short  sounds  are  widely 
•iifferent,  wlun  followed  by  r,  as  well  as  by 
othei  consonants,  as  in  merry,  ■mirror,  hurry. 
—  See  remarks  on  the  sound  of  the  letter  R, 
page  18. 

10.  Vowels  marked  with  the  dot  or  period 
underneath,  ami  y  unmarked,  thus,  a,  c,  r,  5, 
u,  7/,  are  found  only  in  syllables  which  are  not 
uccented,  and  over  whicii  the  organs  of  s|>eech 
pass  slightly  and  liastily,  in  pronouncing  the 
words  in  which  they  are  found,  'i'his  mark 
is  employe<l  ratlier  to  indicate  a  slight  stress 
of  voice,  than  to  note  any  particulai  quality 
of  sound.  If  the  syllables  on  which  the  pri- 
mary and  secondary  accents  fall,  are  uttered 
with  a  j)roper  stress  of  voice,  these  compar- 
atively indistinct  syllables  will  naturally  be 
pronounced  right.  In  a  majority  of  cases,  this 
mark  may  be  regarded  as  indiciUing  an  in- 
distinct short  sound  of  the  vowels,  as  in  tena- 
ble, mental,  travel,  peril,  id^l,  forum,  carry:  but 
in  many  cases  it  indicates  a  slight  or  unaccented 
long  sound,  as  in  carbqnatc,  sulphate,  cbQny,fol- 
iQicer,  educate,  regulate,  cong^rattdalc.  Tlie  let- 
ter u,  in  the  last  three  words,  is  pronounced 
like  yu,  slightly  articulated.  The  vowels  with 
this  mark  have,  in  some  situations,  particularly 
111  the  last  syllable  of  words  ending  with  r,  no 
perceptible  difference  of  sound ;  as  in  friar, 
^cak^    nadir,  actgr,  sulphur,  zephyr. 


A. 

11.  The  third  sound  of  the  letter  a,  marke<l 
thus,  a,  is  its  long  sound  qualified  by  being  fol- 
lowed by  the  letter  r;  as  in  care,  fare,  pare.  The 
diphthong  ai,  followed  by  r,  has  precisely  the 
same  sound,  as  in  fair,  pair;  so  also,  in  some 
cases,  has  the  diphthong  ea,  as  in  bear,  pear 
Tliere  is  obviously  a  difference  in  the  sound  of 
a,  in  these  words,  as  they  are  pronounced  by 
good  sjKiakers,  and  its  sound  in  pain  and  fate. 
There  is  the  same  difference  between  the  sound 
of  a,  in  the  word  pair,  and  its  sound  in  the 
word  payer,  one  who  pa^s;  also  in  the  word 
prayer,  a  petition,  and  in  the  word  prayer,  one 
who  prays. 

12.  The  fifth  sound  of  a,  marked  thu?,  a,  is 
an  intermediate  sound  of  this  letter,  l»etween  ita 
short  sound,  as  in  fat,  man,  and  its  Italian 
sound,  as  in  far,  father.  With  respect  to  the 
class  of  words,  which,  in  this  Dictionarj*,  have 
this  mark,  there  is  much  diversity  among  ortho- 
epists. Most  of  the^se  words  are  marked  by 
Nares,  Jones,  and  Perry,  with  the  Italian  sound, 
as  in  far  and  fuUicr;  but  Walker  and  Jameson 
mark  tliem,  or  most  of  them,  with  the  short 
sound,  as  a  in  fat,  vian;  Fulton  and  Knight 
mark  them  as  being  Intermediate  between  the 
short  and  the  Italian  sound  ;  and  Smart,  though 
he  gives  a  in  most  of  tliese  words  the  short 
mark,  says,  in  relation  to  it,  "There  is,  in 
many  words,  a  disposition  to  broadness  in  the 
vowe!,  not  quite  in  unison  with  the  mode  of 
indication,  as  may  be  perceived  in  an  unaffected 
pronunciation  of  grass,  graft,  command.  This 
brreidness  is  a  decided  vulgarism,  when  it  iden- 
tifies the  sound  with  a.  The  exact  sound  lies 
between  the  one  indicated  and  the  vulgar  cor- 
ruption."

E. 

13.  The  letter  e  has,  in  several  words,  the 
same  sound  as  a  in/twC;  as  in  heir,  there,  where  ; 
111  it  iDcre  is  properly  pronounced  w'dr.  In  clerk 
ririd  sergeant,  it  has,  according  to  all  the  English 
oiUioepists,  the  sound  of  a  in  dark  and  marf^hi; 
yet  in  this  country  it  is  very  common  to  pro- 
liuunce  these  words,  more  in  accordance  with 
tiieir  orthography,  ddrk  and  s'&r/reant. 

14.  When  e  precedes  /  or  n  iti  an  unaccented 
final  syllable,  in  some  words  it  has  an  indis- 
tinct short  sound,  and  in  some  it  is  entirely  sup- 
pressed. It  is  sounded  in  fianntl,  travel,  vessel, 
chicken,  siidden,  woollen,  Sec. ;  and  il  is  su|>press«'d 
in  drivel,  gmvel,  hearken,  hcaveii,  &c. 

15  The  sound  of  tlie  letter  c  is  generally  sup 
pressed  in  the  preterites  of  verbs  and  in  partiei- 
plcs  in  ed,  when  the  e  is  not  prectulcd  by  d  or  t ; 
as,  feared,  praised,  admired,  tossed,  suppressed,  ]»o- 
nounced /mrJ,  praisd,  admird,  tost,  supprest. 

I. 

Ifi.  The  long  sound  of  the  letter  i  Is  lieard 
not  only  in  monosyllables  ending  with  a  mute 
e,  as  in  file,  time,  &:c.,  but  ai.-;o  in  tlie  word  pint, 
and  in  tlje  words  child,  viild,  wild ;  al.so  in  bind, 
blind,  find,  hind,  kind,  inind,  rind,  &c. 

17.  There  is  a  class  of  words,  mostly  derived 
from  the  Frencli  and  Italian  languages,  in  which 
i  retains  the  sound  of  long  c ;  as,  aviber/rris,  an- 
tique, bombazine,  brazil,  capivi,  capuchin,  caprice, 
cliaip-in,  chcvaux-de-frL<e,  critique,  frize,  gabar- 
dine, haberdii\e,  quarantine,  ravine,  routine,  fas- 
cine, fatigue,  intrigue,  invalid,  viachine,  magazine, 
marine,  palanquin,  pique,  police,  recitative,  manda- 
rine, tabourine,  tambourine,  tontine,  transmarine, 
ultramarine,  verdigris.  In  the  word  shi^-c,  i  com- 
monly has  the  same  sound  ;  and  some  also  give 
it  the  same  in  oblige  and  oblique 

18.  In  words  which  terramate  in  He  and  ine, 
with  the  acceftt  on  the  penultimate  syllable,  the 
t  in  the  final  syllable  is  generally  short ;  as,  fer- 
tile, hostile,  adamantine,  intestine,  &.C.  Tiie  follow- 
ing are  exceptions  :  edile,  exile,  gentile,  pentUe, 
fdintf  ferine,  confine,  and  i  few  others.     Also 


when  the  accent  is  on  the  antepenult,  word* 
ending  in  He  generally  have  the  %  short;  as, 
juvenile,  puerile,  &c. ;  ])\il  it  is  long  in  chamo- 
mile, reconcile,  eolipile. 

19.  With  respect  to  words  ending  in  inn, 
and  having  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate 
there  is  much  uncertainty  as  to  the  quantity  of 
the  i ;  and  in  relation  to  a  number  of  such  worda 
♦here  is  much  disagreement  among  orthoepists ; 
yet  the  general  rule  inclines  to  the  long  sound 
of  i  in  the  termination  of  this  class  of  words. 
In  the  following  words,  i,  in  the  last  syllable,  ia 
generally  pronounced  long ;  adulterine,  almandine, 
armentine,  asinine,  bcUuine,  bizantine,  brigantine, 
cannabine,  colubrine,  columbine,  celandine,  concu- 
bine, countermine,  crystalline,  eglantine,  legatine, 
leotiine,  metalline,  vniscadine,  porcupine,  saccharine, 
saturnine,  serpentine,  turpentine,  vespertine,  vitw 
line.  —  In  the  following  words,  t,  ni  the  last  syl- 
lable, is  short:  discipline,  feminine,  genuine,  hero- 
ine, hijuline,  jessamine,  libertine,  mascuHuc,  medi- 
cine,  nectarine,  palatine.  With  respect  to  alkaline, 
aquiline,  coralline,  sappkirine,  uterine,  viperine, 
as  wfll  as  some  others,  tlia  otliDtipists,  as  wtll 

as  usagp,  are  diviili-d.  In  the  termination  me  | 
of  a  cLiss  (if  rheiJiical  woriis,  the  j  is  short  j 
as,  fiiniriitr,  iof;t;ic,  ncpheline.  k.c.  la  the  ter- 
niinatioii  ite,  the  i  is  sometimes  short,  as  in 
rejipitt,  granite,  favorite,  infinite,  &.C.;  and  some- 
tinu'S  l""g,  as  in  erpedile,  appetite,  satellite,  &c. 
In  a  class  of  gentile  nouns,  and  appellatives, 
fiirmed  from  projKT  names,  it  is  long  ;  as,  Hivite, 
I  IVicliffite  :  also,  generally,  in  names  of  minerals; 
as,  aiigite,  steatite,  trenwlite. 

20.  When  i  ends  an  initial  syllable  without 
tlie  acctuit,  and  the  succeeding  syllable  begins 
with  a  consonant,  the  »  is  generally  short  or  in- 
distinct, as  if  written  e,  as  in  civility,  divine, 
finance;  but  the  exceptions  to  this  rule  are 
numerous,  among  which  are  biquadrate,  chirog- 
rnphy,  biography,  divaricate,  librarian,  priineval, 
tribunal,  vitality,  and  many  others,  in  which  the 
i  is  pronounced  long.  There  is  also  a  consid- 
erable number  of  words  with  regard  to  which 
there  is  a  diversity,  in  relation  to  the  pronunci 
ation  of  the  i,  among  orthoepists  and  in  usage 
as,  dilate,  diverge,  virago,  &.c. 

o. 

21.  There  is  a  class  of  monosyllables  ending  m 
f,ft,  ss,  5<,and  th,  in  which  o  is  marked  with  the 
short  sound  in  most  pronouncing  dictionaries, 
though  some  orthotipista  give  it  the  sound  of 
broad  a,  as  in  fall.  Mr.  Nares  gives  the  sound 
of  broad  a  to  o  in  tlie  following  words     off,  often. 


SOUNDS   OP   THE    VOWELS    AND    DIPHTHONGS.

ejjer^  coffee,  scoff,  aloft,  loft,  soft,  cross,  loss,  toss,

pnipriety,  bo  added ;  a-s,  offsprinir,  dro^^,  ffloss, 
moss,  moth,  wroth,  Mr.  Smart  remarks,  "  lliat 
bsfiire  ss,  st,  and  th,  the  letter  o  is  frequently 
Bounded  Sito :  as  in  moss,  gloss,  &c.,  lost,  cost, 
Lc,  broth,  cloth,  &,c.  This  practice  is  analo- 
gous to  the  broad  utterance  which  the  letter  a 
[short]  is  liable  to  receive  before  certain  consf>- 
nants  ;  [^e  A,  page  11  ;]  and  the  same  remarks 
v^  ill  apply  in  the  present  case,  as  to  the  one  re- 
ferred to,  namely,  that,  chough  the  broad  sound 
is  vulgar,  there  is  an  aftectation  in  a  palpable 
effvirt  to  avoid  it  in  words  where  its  use  seems 
at  one  time  to  have  been  general.  In  such  ca-^es, 
■■i  medium  between  the  extremes  is  the  jiractice 
of  the  best  eiKJukers."  The  sound  of  o  is  also 
somewhat  prolonged  in  gone,  and  begone,  and 
tn  some  words  ending  in  ng ;  as,  long,  along, 
prcng,  song,  strong,  thong,  tJirong,  wrong. 

22.  There  are  a  few  words  in  which  o  has 
the  same  sound  as  u  in  bull,  or  as  on  in  good  : 
namely,  bosom,  wtHf,  woman,  fVooLcy,  IVulrer- 
kavipton.  It  has  the  sound  of  short  n  in  done, 
eon,  &:c. ;  and  the  sound  of  ii  (as  in  hurt)  in 
'u'ord,  work,  worth,  (fcc. 

23.  In  many  words  enrling  in  on,  the  sound 
of  0  is  suppressed,  as  in  bacon,  pardon,  weapon, 
reason,  cotton,  &,c. 

u. 

24.  With  respect  to  tlie  manner  of  designating 
lite  sound  of  the  vowel  u  when  it  comes  immedi- 
ately after  the  accent,  as  in  the  words  ediirate, 
nature,  natural,  <fcc.,  there  is  much  diversity 
among  orthoepists.  By  Walker,  the  pronunci- 
ation of  Educate  is  thus  nolcA  —  Sd'ju-ka.t;  by 


Sheridan,  Jones,  Enfield,  Fulton,  and  Jameson, 
thus — ?d'n-k&t;  and  by  Perry,  Knowles,  Smart, 
and  Reid,  thus— Wh /.K^  Natire,  by  Walker, 
fhus  —  Ha'c/iJtr  ,- -by  Sheridan  and  Jones,  thus  — 
na'diur;  by  Perr\-,  Enfield,  and  Reid,  thus  — 
na'tur  ;  by  Jameson  and  Knowles,  thus — nSt- 
yiir  ;  by  Smart,  thus  —  na'tur  or  va'chdr.  Nat- 
URAJ ,  by  Walker  and  Jones,  thus  —  nat'chn-r&l  ; 
by  Sheridan,  thus  —  nat'chttr-dl  ;  by  Fulton, 
Enfield,  and  Jameson,  thus  —  nat'il-ral;  by 
Perry  and  Reid,  thus  —  n&t'u-ral;  by  Knowles, 
thus. —  nat'yur-al:  by  Smart,  thus  —  naV chd-ral. 
There  is  a  pretty  large  class  of  words  with 
respect  to  which  there  is  a  similar  diversity  in 
the  manner  in  which  the  pronunciation  of  u 
and  tu  is  ncaed  by  the  dilTerent  orthoepists  ;  but 
the  difffrence  is  greater  in  ap|*earance  than  in 
reality.  The  u  thus  situaUMl  may  i)ro|)erly  be 
regartled  as  having  tlie  slight  sound  of  long  «; 
an<i  the  sound  may  be  noted  by  ;/«,  slightly  ar- 
ticulated.—  Walker  remarks,  with  respect  to 
the  pronunciation  of  viUure,  "  There  is  a  vulgar 
pronunciation  of  this  word  as  if  written  na'ter^ 
which  cannot  be  txH»  carefully  avoided.  Some 
critics  have  contended  that  it  ought  to  be  pro- 
nounced as  if  written  nate-ynre  ;  but  this  pro- 
nunciation comes  so  near  to  that  here  adopted 
[nil'chur],  as  scarcely  to  be  distinguishable  from 
it,' 

Y. 
25.  y,  at  the  end  of  a  word,  preceded  by  a 
consonant,  is  comifionly  pronounced  short  and 
indistinct,  like  indicdnct  e;  as,  policy,  palpably^ 
lately,  colony,  &.C.  The  exce|)tion3  are  mono- 
syllables; as,  by,  cry,  dry,  fly,  fry,  sty,  vnry,  witll 
their  comjKHinds,  aiery,  hereby,  whereby,  tcC ; 
also  verbs  ending  in/y  ;  as,  fortify,  vtagnify,  tes- 
tify, &.C. ;  also  ally,  occupy,  and  prophesy. 


SOUNDS  OF  THE  DIPHTHONGS  AND  TlllPHTHONGa 


26.  A  diphthong  is  the  union  of  two  vowels, 
pronounced  by  a  single  impulse  of  the  voice ;  as, 
Oi  in  voice,  ou  in  sound. 

27,  A  triphthong  is  the  union  of  three  vowels, 
pronounced  in  like  mancer;  as,  ieu  in  adieu, 
itw  in  view. 

23.  A  proper  diphthong  is  one>  in  which  both 
vowels  are  sounded  j  as,  oi  in  voice,  ou  in  found, 
iw  in  H010.

of  themselves.  I'hcy  are/,  I,  m,  n,  r,  s,  v,  x,  z, 
and  c  ami  g  soft. 

f.2.  'I'lie  four  semi-vowels,  I,  m,  n,  and  r,  are

witl)  other  consonants,  (lowing,  as  it  were,  into 
llieir  sounds.

tnls,  namely,  d,  j,  s,  t,  :,  and  g  soft,  being  pro- 
nounced chiefly  by  llie  aid  of  the  teeth;  d,  g,j,

In  belch,  bench,  filch,  Walker,  Jameson,  and  Ful- 
ton, designate  the  sound  by  sh,  as,  belsh,  bensh, 
filsh;  but  other  orthoepists,  Sheridan,  Perry, 
Jones,  Knowles,  and  Smart,  give  to  ch,  thus 
situated,  the  same  sound  as  in  rich. 

68.  In  words  derived  from  the  ancient  lan- 
guages, ch  is  geneialiy  hard  like  k,  as  in  ache,

angel, architect,  archive,  archipelago,  arclietype, 
archiepLiCopal,  archidiaconal ,  architrave,  archaism, 
archeology ;  but  when .  arch  is  prefixed  to  an 
Englisli  word,  it  is  pronounced  so  as  to  rhj^me 
with  march ;  as,  archbishop,  archduke,  arclirfiend. 
In  drachm,  schism,  and  yacht,  ch  is  silent. 

D. 

70.  The  termination  ed,  assumed  by  the  pre- 
terite and  participle,  in  some  words  takes  the 
eound  of  d,  added  to  the  preceding  syllable  ,•  as, 
healed,  sealed,  pronounced  hcald,  senld ;  and  in 
Pome  it  takes  the  sound  of  t,  added  in  the  same 
manner ;  as,  distressed,  mixed,  pronounced  dis- 
Irest,  mixL  Some  words,  which,  when  used 
as  participles,  are  pronounced  in  one  syllable, 
are,  when  used  as  adjectives,  pronounced  in 
two  ;  as,  learned,  blesse  I,  winged.

tvritten,  aa  well  as  pronounced,  jaiT.

73.  G,  before  e,  i,  and  y,  is  sometimes  hard 
and  sometimes  soft.  It  is  generally  soft  before 
words  derived  from  the  Greek,  Latin,  and 
French,  and  i)ard  before  words  from  the  Saxon ; 
and  these  last,  being  much  the  smaller  number 
of  the  words  of  this  sort,  may  be  regarded  aft 
exceptions. 

74.  It  is  hard  before  e  in  gear,  geek,  geeae., 
geld,  gelt,  gelding,  get,  gewgaw,  shagged,  snagged,

75.  The  "•  in  longer,  (the  comparative  of  long,) 
stronger,  younger,  longest,  strongest,  and  young 
est,  must  articulate  the  e;  and  these  words  are 
pronounced  as  if  written  with  gg.  Thus  longer, 
the  coni|)arative  of  long,  is  jtronounced  long'gert 
and  longer,  one  who  longs,  long'er. 

GH. 

76.  In  this  digraph,  at  the  beginning  of  a  word,

shough,  lough.  In  dough  and  slough  it  is  some- 
times silent,  and  sometimes  has  the  sound  of/. 

GHT. 

77.  In  this  termination,  the  letters  gh  are 
always  silent ;  as,  fight,  right,  height,  6lc.  ;  ex- 
cept in  draught,  which  is  pronounced,  and  in 
some  of  its  senses  usually  written,  draft 

H. 

78.  This  letter  is  a  note  of  aspiration,  and  it 
is  silent  at  the  beginning  of  a  number  of  words  ; 
as,  heir,  heiress,  honor,  honesty,  honorable,  hos- 
tier,  hour,  &c.  In  hospital,  humble,  humor,  hu- 
morous, humorsomc,  herb,  herbage,  &c. ,  according 
to  some  orthoepists,  it  is  silent,  and  according  to 
others,  it  is  sounded.  It  is  always  silent  after  r. 
aa  in  rheum,  rhetoric,  rhaptody,  &c.

PIUNCll'LES    OF    TRO^UNCIATION 


K. 

79.  This  letter  has  the  same  so  nd  as  c  hard  ; 
and  it  is  always  silent  before  n,  a^  in  knee,  kneel, 
know  &c. 

L. 

80.  L  is  silent  in  many  words  •  as  in  calf,  half, 
chalk,  talk,  balm,  calm,  ■would,  csuld,  should,  Sec. 

M. 

81.  M  always  preserves  its  sound,  except  in 
auompt,  accomptant,  and  comptrjller,  pronounced, 
end  also  more  commonly  wiitten,  account,  ac- 
countant, and  controller. 

N. 

82.  JVhas  two  sounds,  one  simple  and  pure, 
as  in  man,  not;  the  other  compound  and  mixed, 
as  in  hang,  thank,  banquet,  anxious ;  the  tliree 
last  being  pronounced  as  if  written  Uiangk, 
bang'quet,  angk'shn-s. 

83.  JV  is  mute  when  it  ends  a  syllable  and 
is  preceded  by  I  or  m,  as  in  kiln,  hymn,  limn, 
column,  autumn,  solemn,  condemn,  contemn,  &.c. 


84.  P  is  silent  before  s  and  t  at  the  beginning 
of  words,  as  in  psalm,  psalter,  ptisan, 

PH. 

85.  This  digraph  geiierally  has  the  sound  of 
/,  as  in  physic,  philosophy,  &c.  In  nephew  and 
Stephen,  it  has  the  sound  of  «  ,-  and  in  dipktlwng, 
triphthong,  naphtha,  &c.,  tiie  h  is  silent. 

Q. 

86.  Q  is  always  followed  by  u,  and  the  di- 
graph qu  has  commonly  the  sound  of  kw,  as  in 
queen,  quill,  quart ;  hut,  in  many  words  derived 
from  the  French,  it  has  the  sound  of  A-,  as  in 
coquet,  etiquette,  nia^sqacrade,  &c. 

R. 

87.  The  letter  r  has  a  jarring  or  trilling  effect 
on  the  tongue,  and  it  is  never  silent.  It  has  a 
peculiar  influence  on  both  the  kmg  and  the  short 
sound  of  the  vowels.  It  has  the  effect,  under 
certain  circimistances,  to  change  tlie  short  sound 
of  a,  as  in  man,  into  its  Italian  sound,  as  in  far, 
and  the  short  sound  of  o,  as  in  not,  into  its 
broad  sound,  like  broad  a,  as  in  iior;  and  it  has 
a  corresponding  effect  on  tlie  short  sound  of  the 
other  vowels.  (See  pages  10  and  11.)  When 
r  is  preceded  by  a  long  vowel,  it  has  sometimes 
tlie  effect  of  confounding  tlie  syllables.    Thus 


the  monosyllables  hire,  more,  roar,  sore,  attrf^lour, 
are  pr-inminccd  precisely  like  the  dissyllables 
higher,  mower,  rower,  soicer,  VLUdJlotcer. 

88.  There  is  a  difference  of  opinion  among 
orthoepists  respecting  the  letter  r.  Johnson 
says  that  "  it  has  one  constant  sound  in  Eng- 
lish ; "  and  the  same  view  of  it  is  maintained 
by  Keurick,  Sheridan,  Perry,  Jones,  Jameson, 
and  Knowles.  Walker,  on  the  contrary,  says, 
"  There  is  a  distinction  in  the  sound  of  this 
letter  scarcely  ever  noticed  by  any  of  our  writ- 
ers on  the  subject,  "which  is,  in  my  opinioD, 
of  no  small  importance  ;  and  that  is  the  rough 
and  the  smooth  r."  The  following  is  the  view 
given  by  Smart :  "  /e  is  a  decided  consonant 
when  it  begins  a  syllable  with  or  without 
another  consonant,  as  in  i\nj,  pray;  and  also 
when  it  ends  a  syllable,  if  it  should  be  so  cir 
cunistanced  that,  ending  one,  it  also  begins  the 
next,  as  in  arid,  tarry,  peril,  berry,  spirit,  floria, 
hurry.  Here  the  r  has  the  same  effect  on  the 
previous  vowel  that  any  other  consonant  Would 
liave  ;  that  is  to  say,  it  stops,  or  renders  the 
vowel  essentially  short.  But,  under  other  cir- 
cumstances, final  r  is  not  a  decided  consonant  j 
and  therefore  the  syllables  ar,  cr,  ir,  or,  ur,  are 
not  coincident,  as  to  the  vowel  sound  in  each, 
with  at,  et,  it,  ot,  ut ;  neither  do  the  vowel 
sounds  in /are,  mere,  ire,  ore,  ure,  poor,  our,  quite 
identify  with  th(>se  in  fate,  mete,  ide,  ode,  cube, 
pool,  owl.'' 

S. 

89.  The  regular  or  genuine  sound  of  s  is  its 
sharp,  sibilant,  or  hissing  sound,  like  c  soft,  as  in 
son,  this.  It  has  also  a  flat  or  soft  sound,  (called 
by  some  its  vocal  sound,),  the  same  as  that  of  the 
letter  i,  as  in  wise,  his. 

90.  S  has  always  its  sharp,  hissing  sound  at 
the  beginning  of  words,  as  ion,  safe  ;  also  at  the 
end  of  words  when  they  terminate  in  as,  except 
the  words  as,  has,  was,  whereas,  and  the  plural 
of  nouns  ending  in  ea,as  seas,plcn.<;  in  all  words 
ending  in  ss,  as  less,  express ;  in  all  words  end- 
ing in  is,  except  the  monosyllables  is  and  his; 
in  all  words  ending  in  us  and  ous,  as  genius, 
famous;  in  all  words,  when  preceded,  in  the. 
same  syllable,  by  either  of  the  nmtes,  k.  p,  t,  or 
by  f;  as,  locks,  hats,  caps,  muffs. 

91.  S  final  has  the  sound  of  i  when  it  imme- 
diately follows  any  consonant,  except  the  mutes 
k,p,  t,  the  seny-vowel/,  and  th  aspirated,  as  in 
ribs,  /leads,  hens  ;  also  when  it  forms  an  addi- 
tional syllable  with  c  before  it,  in  the  plural  of 
nouns  and  the  third  person  singular  of  verbs,  as 
in  churche^s,  boxes, prices;  likewise  in  some  verba

pnrtiiis  in  flc,  to  distinguish  them  from  nouns 
and  adjectives  of  the  same  form,  as  abuse,  vse, 
close,  diffuse,  as  disting:uished  from  the  nouns 
and  adjectives,  abuse,  use,  close,  diffuse.  But  it 
is  impossible  to  {{ive  rules  which  will  enable 
one  to  see,  in  all  cases,  how  5  is  to  be  pro- 
nounced, whether  with  its  sharp,  hissing  sound, 
or  its  fiat  or  soft  sound,  like  :• 

92.  S  a^i-'-ated,  or  sounding  like  sh  or  zh.  — 
S  takes  the  sound  oi  sh  in  words  ending  in  sum, 
precedad  by  a  consonant,  as  in  dicerainn,  expid- 
siori,  dimension,  passfov,  mission,  &.c.  ;  also  in  the 
following  words :  censure,  tensure,  toitsure,  sen- 
STial,  fssure,  scissitrc,  pressure,  compressure,  ira- 
pressure,  sure,  assure,  insure,  nauseate,  nauseous, 
czosseous,  suirar,  sumach. 

£3.  S  has  the  sound  of  zh  in  the  lennination 
gion,  j)receded  by  a  vowel,  as  in  evasion,  cohe- 
sion, dcMsion,  explosion,  contusion,  &.C. ;  also  in  a 
number  of  words  in  which  s  is  preceded  by  an 
accented  v<»wel,  and  followed  by  the  termina- 
licn  ure,  as  in  measure,  pkasure,  displeasure, 
Vcasure,  rasare,  closure,  disclosure,  enclosure,  cz- 
osure,  composure,  incisure,  leisure ;  also  in  sev- 
eral words  ending  in  sier;  as,  crosier,  cosier, 
osier,  hosier,  rosier,  brasier,  grasier;  also  in 
ambrosia,  ambrosial,  dysium,  elysian. 


94.  T,  like  s  and  e,  is  aspirated  when  it 
cotnes  immediately  after  the  accent,  and  is  fol- 
lowed by  the  vowels  iVi,  ie,  or  io,  taking  the 
sound,  in  these  cases,  of  aA,  as  in  partial,  patient, 
nation,  partition,  &.C. 

TH. 

9.5.  This  digraph  h»s  two  sounds;  on?,  hard, 
sharp,  or  aspirate,  as  in  thin  tJiiuk,  earth,  breath, 
&.C. ;  the  other,  flat,  soft,  or  vocal,  as  in  tJus,  the, 
then,  breathe,  &c. 

9G.  At  the  beginning  of  words,  this  digraph  is 
generally  sharp,  as  in  thin,  Uutrn.  The  excep- 
tions are  the  following  words,  with  tlieir  com- 
pounds :  tJie,  thit,  Viat,  Uwu,  Ihee,  thy,  thine,  tliey, 
their,  theirs,  them,  these,  Uiose,  there,  therefore. 


then,  thence,  thither,  though,  tJius.  At  the  end 
of  words  it  is  generally  sharp,  as  in  death,  breathy 
&.C. ;  but  at  the  end  of  some  verbs  it  is  flat,  us, 
to  smooth,  to  mouth;  also  in  the  following,  wkicli 
are  written  with  a  final  e:  to  bathe,  to  be^pteatke, 
to  breathe,  to  clotJic,  to  luaiJie,  to  sheathe,  to  soothe, 
to  sKoihe,  to  irrcaUie. 

97.  liwome  nouns,  it  is  sharp  in  tiie  singular, 
as  in  bath,  path,  viouUi;  and  flat  in  the  plural, 
as  batlts,  paUis,  mouths.  In  some  words  the  h 
is  silent,  as  in  Thomas,  thvmc 

W. 

98.  JV,  at  the  beginning  of  words,  is  a  con 
sonant.  It  is  always  silent  before  r;  aa,mrite, 
wren,  wrist,  &.C. 

WH. 

99.  This  digraph  is  sounded  as  it  would  natu- 
rally be  if  the  order  of  tlie  letters  were  reversed, 
thus,  hw;  as,  when,  while,  whip,  pronounced 
hwen,  hw'de,  hwip.  In  some  words  tlie  w  is 
silent ;  as,  who,  whole,  ice. 

X. 

100.  The  regular  sound  of  z  is  its  sharp  sound, 
like  ks  ,•  as,  excellent,  execute,  expect,  tax. 

101.  ft  has  a  flat  or  s«ft  sound,  like  gz,  when 
the  next  syllable  following  begins  with  an  ac- 
cented vowel,  as  in  exalt,  example,  exert,  execu 
tor ;  also  in  some  words  derived  from  primitives 
which  have  the  sound  of  gz ;  as,  exaltation,  ex, 
emplary. 

10-2.  At  the  beginning  of  words,  it  has  the 
sound  of  z,  as  in  Xenophon,  xylography. 

103.  A'  is  iLspirated,  and  takes  the  souivd  of 
ksh,  in  some  words,  when  the  accent  immedi 
ately  precedes  it ;  as,  fluxion,  complexion,  anx- 
ious, luxury. 

z. 

104.  This  letter  has  Uie  same  sound  as  flal 
or  soft  s.  ft  is  aspirated,  taking  tlie  sound  of 
zh,  in  a  few  words  ;  as,  brazier,  glazier,  grazier, 
vizier,  azure,  razure,  seizure. 


ACCENT. 


105.  All  the  words  in  the  English  language,  of 
more  than  one  syllable,  have  one  accented  sylla- 
ble ;  and  most  polysyllabic  words  have  not  only 
a  syllable  with  a  primary  accent,  but  adso  one 
with  a  secondary  iccent. 


106.  It  is  the  general  tendency  of  the  lan- 
guage to  place  the  accent  on  the  first  syllabic 
of  dissyllables,  and  on  the  antepenultimate  of 
polysyllables.  The  exceptions,  however,  arc  sc 
numerous,  tliat  this  is  not  to  be  regtirded  as  d 


20 


PRINCIPLES    OF  PRONUNCIATIOIN. 


rule,  but  only  as  a  general  tendency  of  tlie  lan- 
guage. With  respect  to  verbs  of  two  syllables, 
Ihe  tendency  ia  to  place  the  accent  on  the 
Becond  syllaljje. 

107.  A  large  part  of  the  words  of  the  English 
language,  especially  of  the  polysyllables,  are 
derived  from  the  Latin  and  Greek  languages  ; 
and,  with  respect  to  the  accent  of  su(^  words, 
these  languages  have  great  influence  ;  though, 
in  relation  to  many  of  them,  the  analogy  of  the 
English  prevails  over  that  of  the  original  lan- 
guage. 

108.  Words  which  are  adopted  from  the  Latin 
language  into  the  English  without  any  change 
of  orthography,  generally  retain  the  Latin  ac- 
cent, especially  if  they  are  terms  of  the  arts 
and  sciences,  or  words  somewhat  removed  from 
common  usage.  I'he  following  words  have  the 
accent  on  the  penultimate  syllable,  both  in  Latin 
and  English  ;  abdovien,  acumen,  asylum,  bitumen, 
curator,  decorum,  delator,  dictator,  hvi-izon,  spec- 
tator, testator. 

109.  Some  words,  which  have  the  accent  on 
the  penult  in  Latin,  are  conformed  to  the  Eng- 
lish analogy,  and  have  the  accent  on  the  ante- 
penult, as,  auditor,  character,  cicatrix,  orator, 
minister,  plethora,  senator,  sinister. 

110.  Monosyllables  axe  generally  marked,  in 
pronouncing  dictionaries,  with  the  distinct  sound 
of  the  vowels,  as  they  are  pronounced  when 
uttered  distinctly  ;  but,  in  reading  and  speak- 
ing a  great  part  of  them,  especially  the  parti- 
cles, as  a,  an,  the,  and,  at,  of,  in,  on,  &c.,  are 
generally  uttered  so  as  to  give  only  an  indistinct 
or  obscure  sound  to  the  vowels. 

111.  Simple  words  of  two  syllables  have  only 
one  syllable  accented,  excejrt  the  word  amen, 
which,  Walker  says,  "  is  the  only  word  in  the 
language  which  has  necessarily  two  consecu- 
tive accents."  There  are,  however,  many  com- 
pound words  of  two  syllables,  which  have  both 
syllables  more  or  less  accented  j  as,  backslide, 
downfall,  mankind,  highway,  lighthouse,  sometimes, 
waylay,  windmill,  almost,  Sec. 

112.  Many  words  of  three  and  four  syllables 
have  only  one  accented  syllable  ;  as,  sensible, 
penalty,  reliance,  occurrence,  republic,  admirable, 
agreeable,  celebrity,  congenial,  chalybeate,  &c.  But 
some  have  a  secondary  accent  almost  as  strong 
as  the  primary  ;  as,  advertise,  artisan,  partisan, 
complaisant,  caravan,  coimtermand,  reprimand, 
contraband,  commodore,  reprehend,  navigator,  reg- 
ulator, legislator,  detrimental,  judicature,  carica- 
ture, animadvert,  &c. 

113.  Almost  all  words  of  more  than  four  syl- 


lables have  both  a  i)rimary  and  a  secondarj' 
accent ,  and  some  words  of  seven  or  eight  syl- 
lables have  one  primary  and  two  secondary 
accents  ;  as,  indivisibility,  incomprehensibility. 

114.  The  following  list  of  dissyllables,  when 
used  as  nouns  or  adjectives,  have  the  accent  ou 
the  first  syllable ;  and  when  used  as  verbs,  oo 
the  second :  —

117.  A  similar  analogy  has  influence  in 
cluinging  the  accent  of  many  othei"  words, 
wJiich  are  used  as  verbs,  and  also  iua  nouns  or 
adjectives.  Thus,  counterbalatue  and  overbal- 
ance, when  nouns,  have  t]i««  accent  on  the  first 
E3  liable,  and  when  verbs,  on  the  third  ;  and 
attribute,  as  a  nou.b,  is  accented  on  the  first  syl- 
lable, and  as  i.  verb,  on  the  second.  A  class  of 
words  vvitit  the  termination  ate  have  the  dis- 
tir.ct  sound  of  long  a,  when  used  as  verbs,  and 
tlie  indistinct  or  obscure  sound  of  a,  when  used 
as  nouns  or  adjectives  ;  of  this  class  are  deliber- 
ate, Ultimate,  mediate,  moderate,  See.  The  word 
interest,  when  used  as  a  verb,  is  pronounced  with 
u  more  distinct  sound  of  short  e,  in  the  last  syl- 
lable, than  when  used  as  a  noun.  The  verb  to 
prophesy  has  the  full  sound  of  long  y;  and  the 
noun  prophecy,  the  obscure  sound  of  y  or  e.  So 
the  whole  class  of  verbs  ending  in  fy  are  pro- 
nounced with  the  distinct  sound  of  long  y. 

118.  All  words  ending  in  sion  and  tion  have 
the  accent  on  the  j)enultimat8  syllable ;  as,  dis- 
sen'sion,  declara'ticn,  medita'tion,  &c. 

119.  Words  ending  in*ia,  iac,  ial,  ian,  eons, 
and  ions,  have  the  accent  on  the  preceding  syl- 
lable ;  as,  rega'lia,  demo'niac,  impe'rial,  m^rid'ian, 
gponta'neous,  melo'dious.  If  c,  "•,  s,  t,  or  x,  pre- 
cedes the  vowels  e  or  i,  in  these  terminations 
these  vowels  are  generally  blended  with  the 
vowel  or  vowels  which  follow,  being  pronounced 
In  one  syllable  ;  as,  beneficial,  mugi'cian,  fari- 
na'ceojis,  loqua'cious,  dissen'sious,  coura'geotis, 
umta'gions,  conten'tious,  anxious.  The  only  ex- 
ception to  this  rule,  in  relation  to  placing  the 
accent,  is  the  word  cle.<riac,  which  is  commonly 


pronounced  elegi'ac,  though  some  pronounce  it 
in  accordance'with  the  rule,  ele'giac 

120.  Words  ending  in  acal  and  ical  have  tb« 
accent  on  the  ante^jenultimate  syllable  ;  as,  keif 
acal,  cdphabct' ical,  fanat' ical,  grograph'ical,  poeV^ 
col,  &c  In  words  of  this  termination,  the  vov/ 
els  in  the  accented  syllables,  if  fulloweii  oy 
consonant,  are  short,  except  u,  which  is  long 
as,  cu'bical  vtu'sical,  scorha' ticcd. 

121.  Words  ending  in  ic  have  the  accent  j*i 
the  penultimate  syllable  ;  as,  algebra' ic,  inefxil'lic, 
epidein'ic,  scientific,  karmon'ic,  parali/Jtc.  If  a 
consonant  in^mediately  precedes  tttr  i,  the  vow- 
els in  the  accented  syllable  ar^;  short,  except  the 
vowel  u,  which  is  long,  if  It  is  followed  by  a  sin- 
gle consonant ;  as,  cA«  u'bic,  scorbu'tic,  sulphu'rie, 
telluric.  Sec. ;  bu*  if  u  is  followed  by  two  con 
sonants,  it  is  ininietimes  short ;  iis,fus'tic,  rus'tic 
and  sojr«etimes  long;  as,  ru'bric,  lu'bric.  The 
foUofving  words,  which  are  exceptions  to  thjs 
mie,  have  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate 
syllable:  ar'senic,  (as  a  noun,)  aritJi'metic,  bish'~ 
opric,  cath'olic,  chol'eric,  ephem'eric,  her'ctic,  lu'na- 
tic,  pol'itic,  rket'oric,  and  tur'meric.  The  fol- 
lowing words,  climacteric,  empiric,  pldegviaUc^ 
splenetic,  according  to  some  orthoepists,  are  con- 
formed to  the  rule,  and  according  to  others,  they 
are  exceptions  to  it. 

122.  Words  of  three  or  more  sjilables,  end- 
ing in  eal,  have  their  accejit  on  the  antef)enulti- 
mate  syllable  j  as,  bo'rcal,  corpo'real,  incorpo' real, 
cu'neal,  empyr'eal,  eUie'rcal,  fune'reai,  homage' ne- 
al,  heteroge'ncal,  lae'tcal,  lin'eal,  or'deal,  subter- 
ra'neal ;  except  hymene'al,  which  has  the  i)enul- 
timate  accent. 

123.  Of  words  ending  in  can,  the  following, 
being  conformed  to  the  English  analogy,  have 
the  accent  on  the  antepenultinmte  syllable :  c&- 
ru'lean,  hyperbo'rean,  hercu'lean,  mediterra'ncau^ 
subterra'nean,  tarta'rean ;  but  the  following  ara 
pronounced  by  the  principal  orthoepists,  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  best  usage,  with  the  accent 
on  the  penultimate :  adamuntc'an,  Jidunte'an,  coU 
osse'an,  empijre'an,  cpicure'an,  Europe'an,  hyme- 
ne'an,  pygme'an.  With  regard  to  European, 
Walker  remarks  as  follows :  "  This  word,  ac- 
cording to  the  analogy  of  our  own  language, 
ought  certainly  to  have  the  accent  on  the  secimd 
syllable  ;  and  this  is  the  pronunciation  which 
unlettered  speakers  constantly  adopt ;  but  the 
learned,  ashamed  of  the  analogies  of  their  own 
tongue,  always  place  the  accent  on  the  third  syl- 
lable, because  Eiiropcens  has  the  |)enultimate 
long,  and  is  therefore  accented  in  Latin.  Epicur 
rean  has  the  accent  on  the  same  syllable,  by  the 
same  rule  ;  while  herculean  and  cerulean  submit

U)  Englisn  analogy,  and  have  tlieir  accent  on  the

Latin  is  short." 

124.  Words  ending  in  tude,  efy,  ify,  and  ity, 
have  thfir  accent  on  the  antepenultimate ;  as, 
for'titude,  rar'cfy,  dicer'sify,  liberal'ity,  impu'rity, 
vari'cty,  insensibiV ity. 

125,  VVord.s  of  tlirce  or  more  syllables,  ending 
m  ulous,  ?7WM.i,  eroiw,  and  oruus,  have  the  accent 
on  the  antepemiltim.ite  ;  as,  sed'ulous,  vola'mi- 
nous,  vociferous,  cariiiooroiu :   except  cuno'roud 


and  simo'rous,  wliich  have  the  accent  on  the 
penultimate. 

126.  Words  of  three  or  more  syllables,  ending 
in  ative,  have  the  accent  on  the  antepenultimate, 
or  on  the  preceding  syllable  ;  as,  rel'ative,  appeV- 
lative,  commu'nicative,  spec'ulatioe.  The  only  ex- 
ception is  crea'tive. 

127.^Vords  ending  in  live,  preceded  by  a  con 
sonant,  have  the  accent  on  the  penultimate  ;  as 
attrac'tive,  iitccc't'we,  prcsump'tive ;  except  adjec- 
tive and  sub'ataitlice. 


ORTPIOEPY  AND   ORTPIOEPiSTS. 


128.  The  pronunciation  of  the  English  lan- 
guage, like  that  of  all  living  languages,  is  in  a 
great  measure  arbitrary.  It  is  exposed  to  the 
caprices  of  fashion  and  taste.  It  is  liable  to 
change  from  ono  age  to  another  :  and  it  varies, 
more  or  less,  not  only  in  the  different  and  dis- 
tantly separated  countries  in  which  it  is  spoken, 
but  also  in  the  different  divisions  and  districts 
of  the  same  country.  No  two  speakers  or  or- 
thoepists,  though  inhabitants  of  the  same  place, 
would  be  likely  to  agree  in  the  pronunciation  of 
all  its  words.  The  standard  of  pronunciation  is 
not  the  authority  of  any  dictionarj',  or  of  any  or- 
thoepist ;  but  it  is  the  present  usage  of  literary 
and  well-bred  society. 

129.  The  question  may  be  asked,  AVhere  is 
this  standard  to  be  sought,  —  this  usage  to  be 
ascertained  ?  To  this  it  may  be  answered,  that 
Loiiiidii  is  the  great  metropolis  of  English  litera- 
tim^ ;  iiui!  that  it  has  an  incomparably  greater 
influence  than  any  other  city  in  giving  law,  in 
relation  to  style  and  pronunciation,  to  the  many 
nnllions  who  write  and  speak  the  language, 
'i'he  English  orthoepists  naturally  refer  to  the 
usa^e  of  thf.  best  society  iii  London  as  their 
principal  standard  ;  but  the  usags  of  good  so- 
ciety in  tlial  city  is  not  uaiA'rni,  and  no  two 
ortliriepist.s  would  perfectly  a;,'ree  with  each 
other  in  atttiMpting  to  exhibit  it. 

130.  It  may  be  further  asked,  flow  far  is  it 
propar  for  the  people  of  the  United  States  to  be 
guided,  in  their  pronunciation,  by  the  usage  of 
Loiuion  ?  'i"o  this  it  may  be  answered,  that  it  is 
advisable  for  American  writers  and  speakers  to 
conform  substantially  to  the  best  mo<lels,  wher- 
ever they  may  be  found  ;  and  so  long  as  London 
hohls  i.s  rank  as  the  great  metropolis  of  the  lit- 
tratiirenfthe  l:l!i<;lish  language,  so  long  it  mtist 
lUiVe   a  predominaiii  iiilluence   with  resjtect  to 


writing  and  speaking  it.  If  the  influence  of  the 
usage  of  London  were  discarded,  where  should 
we  seek  for  a  usage  that  would  be  generally 
acknowledged  as  entitled  to  higher  authority.' 
There  is  no  one  city  in  the  United  States  which 
holds  a  corresponding  rank  as  a  centre  of  intel- 
ligence and  foshion,  —  no  one  which  is  the  cen- 
tral and  undisputed  metropolis  of  Anglo-Amer- 
ican literature,  as  London  is,  of  English  liter- 
ature. Pronunciation  in  the  United  States  i-^, 
indeed,  now  substantially  conformed  to  ti.e 
usage  of  London.  The  works  ot  the  English 
orthoepists,  who  have  regarded  the  usage  of 
London  as  their  standard,  have  been  as  gener- 
ally circulated  and  used  in  this  country,  as  they 
have  been  in  England;  and  there  is,  undoubt- 
edly, a  more  general  conformity  to  London 
usage  in  pronunciation  tnrotigliout  the  United 
States,  than  there  is  throughout  Great  Britain. 

131.  Although  it  is  not  to  be  questioned,  that, 
with  resjiect  to  the  many  millions  who  sjieak 
the  English  Innguage,  the  usage  of  I,ondou  is 
entitled  to  far  more  weight  than  that  of  any 
other  cit\',  yet  this  is  not  the  only  thing  to  bo 
observed.  The  u.iage  of  the  best  society  in  the 
place  or  district  in  which  one  resides,  is  not  tc 
be  disregarded.  If  our  pronunciation  is  agree- 
able to  the  analogy  of  tlie  language,  and  con- 
formed to  the  practice  of  the  best  society  vvilb 
which  we  h.ave  intercourse,  we  may  have  no 
sufficient  reascw  to  change  it,  though  it  should 
deviate,  more  or  less,  from  the  existing  usage  of 
London.  A  proper  pronunciation  is,  indeed, 
a  desirable  accomplisiiinent,  and  is  indicative 
of  a  correct  taste  and  a  good  education  ;  still  iJ 
ought  to  be  remembered,  that,  in  speech  as  in 
manners,  he  who  is  t!ie  most  itrecise  is  often  the 
least  pleasing,  and  that  rusticity  te  more  excu- 
sable than  affectation. 


ORTHOEPY  AND  ORTHOEPISTS. 


23 


lis.  "  For  pronunciation,"  says  Dr.  Johnson, 
"  the  best  general  rule  is  to  consider  those  as 
the  most  elegant  speakers  who  deviate  least 
from  the  written  words."  There  are  many 
ivords  of  which  the  pronunciation  in  England 
is,  at  present,  better  conformed  to  the  spelling 
than  it  was  formerly ;  and  the  principle  of  con- 
formity betw>.^en  the  manner  of.  writing  and  ' 
tpeaking  the  language,  has  been  carried  some- 
what farther  in  the  United  States  than  in  Eng- 
land, This  is  a  principle  which  seems  worthy 
of  being  encouraged,  rather  than  checked. 

133.  Much  ingenuity  and  labor  have  been 
cmployeJ  by  various  orthucpists,  in  their  efforts 
to  settle  the  pronunciation  of  the  language  ;  and 
different  systems  of  notation  for  designating  the 
eounds  of  the  letters  have  been  adopted.  I'.ui 
it  lias  been  found  difficult  to  form  such  a  system 
as  will  correctly  represent  all  the  various  sounds 
of  the  letters,  and  not  be  liable  to  mistake ;  and, 
if  such  a  system  were  formed,  it  would  be  a 
difficult  and  delicate  matter  to  make  a  correct 
application  of  it  to  all  cases.  The  language, 
us  It  respects  pronunciation,  has  many  irregu- 
larities, which  cannot  be  subjected  to  any  gen* 
eral  rules ;  and  with  regard  to  tlie  pronunciation 
of  particular  words,  the  instances  are  numerous 


In  relation  to  which  there  is  a  disagreement 
among  the  best  orthoepists. 

131.  Ill  the  preparation  of  this  witrk,  Prosun- 
ciATioN  has  been  maile  a  sjKcial  ol>ject,  and 
has  received  particular  attt^ntion.  A  prominent 
feature  in  the  plan  consists  in  the  exhibition  of 
authurities  resperliug  words  of  various,  doubtful, 
or  disputed  |)roiiiiiiciatiou  ;  and  this  work  is  so 
constriicte«l  as  to  exhibit,  wiili  rtsixjct  to  all  this 
class  of  words,  for  which  a  pruiiuiincing  diction- 
ary is  chiefly  wanted,  the  modes  in  which  they 
are  proiioiiiice«l  by  all  the  most  eiiiineiit  English 
orthoepists. 

1:35.  The  fallowing  Table  exhibits  the  manner 
in  which  the  iiroiiiinciatiou  of  a  number  of  words 
is,re])resented  by  ir^heridau,  Walker,  Jameson, 
ttud  Smart,  togcthrr  with  tin;  mode  adopted  in 
this  work.  These  several  orthoepists  have  each 
his  own  jxiculiar  system  of  notation;  but  as 
their  different  methods  of  marking  the  letters 
cannot  be  here  exhibited  without  much  incon- 
venience, and  without  causing  great  confusion 
to  the  reader,  their  respective  modes  with  regard 
to  the  respelling  of  the  words,  are  jjresented ;  and 
instead  of  their  marks  on  the  vowels,  those  em- 
ployed in  this  work  are  substituted,  indicating, 
in  all  cases,  the  same  sounds  of  the  letters.

136.  In  relation  to  all  the  words  here  exhib- 
ited, these  orthoepists  agree  with  respect  to  two 
c-f  the  most  imponant  points  in  the  pronuncia- 
tion of  words,  namely,  the  synai)Ie  on  which  the 
accent  is  to  be  placed,  and  the  quantity  of  the 
vowel  in  the  accented  syllable.  'J'hough  with 
regard  to  the  mode  of  representing  the  pronun- 
ciation of  most  of  these  words,  there  is  consid- 
cr.ible  diversity,  yet  it  is  doubtless  true  that 
the  pronunciation  intended  to  be  expressed  dif- 
ftfi.  in  reality,  much  less  than  it  would  seem  to 


do  ;  and  that,  in  uiiinerous  instances,  these  or- 
thoepists agreed  much  better  in  their  practice^ 
than  in  their  mode  of  indicating  it. 

137.  There  is  an  obvious  difierence  in  the 
quantity  and  stress  of  voice  with  which  the  last 
syllables  of  the  words  deliberate  and  moderat* 
are  pronounced,  when  verbs  and  when  adjeo 
tives.  All  these  orthoepists  mark  the  a  long  in 
the  last  syllable  of  these  words  when  used  as 
verbs  ;  Jameson  and  Smart  also  mark  it  long 
when  adjectives  j  Walker  shortens  the  r.  in  tlw

adjective  moderate  j  Sheridan  chanires  the  a  in 
both  of  the  words,  wlirn  adjectives,  intu  short  e. 
But  there  seems  to  he  no  advantage  in  chaMiring 
the  letter  in  siicn  cases.  U  is  Imt  sliglitly  pro- 
nounced, and  iias  not  the  distinct  ^kmwX  of 
eitlier  short  c,  or  sht)rt  or  Ion-;  a  ;  and  with 
respect  to  most  of  the  instatices  in  uliich  tlie 
vowels  in  this  Dictionary  iiave  a  dot  placed 
under  tliein,  they  are  so  sliglitly  prtmouiiced, 
that  to  mark  them  vvitli  a  distinct  sound,  eith«;r 
long  orshort.  wouhl  lend  ratiier  to  mislead  than 
to  assist  in  pronouncing  thein. 

138.  Witli  respect  to  words  variously  pro- 
nounced, Wallcer  says,  "  The  only  metliod  of 
knowing  the  extent  of  custom,  in  tiiese  cases, 
seems  to  be  ar»  inspection  of  those  dictionaries 
whicli  professedly  treat  of  pronunciation.  We 
have  now  so  many  works  of  this  ki{id,  that  the 
general  current  of  custom,  witli  respect  to  the 
sound  of  words,  may  be  collected  from  them 
with  almost  as  much  certainty,  as  the  general 
eense  of  words  from  Johnson.  An  exliibition 
of  the  opinions  of  orthoepists  about  tlie  sound  of 
words,  always  appeared  to  me  a  very  rational 
method  of  determining  what  is  called  custom. 
This  metl>od  I  have  adopted."  The  method  thus 
countenanced  by  Walker  has  been  carried  out  in 
this  Dictionary,  much  more  thoroughly  than  he 
had  the  means  of  doing  it,  inasmuch  as  the 
greater  part  of  the  works  which  are  made  use  of, 
as  the  principal  authorities,  have  been  published 
since  his  time.  With  respect  to  many  of  these 
words,  it  is  difficult  to  decide  what  method  is  to 
be  preferred ;  and  it  is  not  to  be  supposed  that 
the  mode  for  which  the  compiler  has  indicated  a 
preference  will,  in  all  cases,  be  esteemed  the 
best ;  but  even  when  it  is  not,  the  mode  which 
the  reader  may  deem  preferable  will  be  found 
included  within  the  brackets,  and  supported  by 
its  proper  authority. 

139.  Two  modes  of  pronouncing  a  word  are, 
in  n»any  instances,  given,  besides  the  forms  in- 
cluded within  the  brackets ;  and  altern.-itives 
of  this  sort  would  have  been  presented  in  other 
cases,  if  different  modes  had  not  been  cited  from 
respectable  authorities.  The  compiler  has  not 
intended,  in  any  case,  to  give  his  own  sanction 
to  a  form  which  is  not  su()ported  either  by  usage, 
aiithority,  or  analogy.  He  has,  however,  in 
Eome  instances,  in  deference  to  the  weight  of 
authorities,  given  the  preference  to  a  mode, 
u/hich,  in  the  exercise  of  his  own  judgioent, 


iiide[K'ndent  of  the  authorities,  he  would  not 
liave  preferred  ;  for  it  would  be  unrcasc>n:iblo 
for  him  to  make  a  conformity  to  his  own  taste, 
or  to  tiie  result  of  his  own  limited  observation,  a 
hiw  to  those  who  may  differ  from  him,  and  yet 
agree  with  periiajis  the  more  common  usage 
Hut,  though  it  has  not  been  his  design  to  mako 
innovations,  or  to  encourage  provincial  or  Ameri- 
can peculiarities,  yet  he  has  not  always  given  the 
preference  to  the  mode  of  pronunciation  whicn 
is  supported  by  the  greatest  weiglit  of  the  author- 
ities cited  ;  and,  where  orthoepists  are  divided, 
he  has  generally  been  inclined  to  countenance 
that  mode  which  is  most  conformable  to  analogy 
or  to  orthograjiiiy. 

140.  In  giving  the  authorities  for  pronuncia- 
tion in  this  Dictionary,  neither  Ihe  respellir^ 
nor  the  notation  of  the  ortlioopists  cited,  lias 
been  generally  exiiibited,  as  it  was  necessar^  ty 
reduce  them  all  to  one  system.  'I'heir  precise 
difference  is  not  always  presented  with  exact 
ness  ;  yet  the  cases  of  failure  are  not  importan' 

141.  The  English  authorities  most  frequenfXy 
cited  in  this  volume  are  Sheridan,  Walker, 
P^rry,  Jones,  Enfield,  Fulton  and  Knight, 
Jameson,  Knowles,  Smart,  and  Reid,  all  of 
whom  are  authors  of  Pronouncing  Dictionaries. 
In  addition  to  these,  various  other  English  lexi- 
cographers and  orthoepists  are  frequently  brought 
forward,  as  Bailey,  Johnson,  Kenrick,  Ash,  Bar- 
clay, Entick,  Scott,  Nares,  and  several  others ; 
besides  the  distinguished  American  lexicogra- 
pher, Dr.  Webster. 

142.  The  different  English  orthoepists,  who 
are  made  use  of  as  authorities,  are  entitled  to 
very  different  degrees  of  respect.  There  is  nn 
one  of  them  who  has  obtained  a  higher  and  more 
widely -extended  reputation  than  Walker;  and 
no  one  appears  to  have  bestowed  longer  and 
more  patient  attention  in  studying  the  analogies> 
of  the  language,  and  in  ascertaining  the  besi 
usage.  But  there  has  been  considerable  change 
since  his  time  ;  and  some,  who  have  succeeded 
liini,  have  corrected  some  of  his  mistakes,  and 
made  improvements  on  his  system  ;  and  they 
may,  in  many  cases,  be  considered  better  guides 
as  to  the  present  usage  than  Walker. 

143.  Of  the  successors  of  Walker,  Mr.  Smart 
appears  to  have  given  the  most  careful  and  dis- 
crimiiiating  attention  to  the  g\>bject;  and  he 
may  therefore  be  regarded  as  the  best  single 
authority  for  present  usage  ^

ORTHOGRAPHY, 


L  The  English  language,  with  respect  to  its 
orthography,  has  been  subject  to  more  or  less 
change  ever  since  its  first  formation.  The 
node  of  spelling  of  a  considerable  number  of  its 
words  is  still  unsettled,  and  there  are  some  in 
regard  to  which  it  is  ditlicult  to  determine  what 
orthography  is  most  to  be  approved. 

2.  Two  of  the  most  noted  diversities,  with 
regard  to  English  orthography,  are  found  in 
Uie  two  classes  of  words  ending  in  tc  or  ick,  and 
in  or  or  our  ;  as,  mtisic,  public,  or  miisicky  publick ; 
favor,  honor,  or  favour,  honour. 

3.  With  respect  to  the  k  in  the  class  of  words 
referred  to,  it  is  now  almost  universally  omitted 
by  the  best  authors,  both  in  England  and  Amer- 
ica. It  is,  however,  retained  in  monosyllables  ; 
as,  stick,  brick,  lock;  and  in  some  dissyllables 
ending  in  ock;  as,  hillock,  hemlock,  &c.  The 
verbs  to  frolic^  to  mimic,  to  physic,  and  to  traffic, 
are  written  without  a  final  ifc  in  the  present 
tense;  but,  on  assuming  another  syllable,  in 
forming  the  past  tense  and  participles,  the  k 
must  be  used,  to  keep  the  c  hard ;  aa,  trafficked, 
trafficking. 

4.  The  question  respecting  the  letter  «,  in 
words  ending  in  or  or  our,  —  as,/aoor,  honor,  or 
favour,  honour,  —  is  attended  with  much  more 
difficuUy  Most  of  the  words  of  this  class  are 
originally  from  the  Latin,  and  are  regarded  as 
coming  into  the  English  through  the  French, 
having  the  termination,  in  that  language,  of  eur ; 
as,  faveur,  konneur;  and  this  is  the  reason 
as8ii,'ned  by  Johnson  for  retaining  the  «.  But 
he  is  far  from  being  consistent  in  applying  the 
principle  ;  for,  with  respect  to  the  class  of  words 
which  have  the  termination  or  in  Latin,  and  eur 
hi  French,  he  gives  many  of  them  with  the  «, 
and  many  of  them  without  it. 

5.  The  following  words  are  found  in  John- 
eon's  Dictionary  with  the  u  in  the  last  sylla- 
ble:— 

ambassadour         demeanour  fulgour 

anteriour  disfavour  governour 

arbour  dishonour  harbour 

ardour  dolour  honour 

armour  emperour  horrour 

behaviour  enamour  humour 

candour  endeavour  inferiour 

clamour  errour  intercessour 

clangour  favour  interiour

6.  The  following  words  are  found  in  John. 
son's  Dictionary  without  the  u  in  the  last  sylJa- 
ble  immediately  before  r  ••  — 


actor 

doctor 

lentor

7.  The  same  principle  will  apply  to  the  orthog- 
raphy of  the  last  syllable  of  most  of  the  words  ia 
the  two  lists ;  and  the  inconsistency  will  bo 
obvious  by  merely  comparing  the  words  anteri' 
our  and  interiour,  which  are  written  by  Johnson 
with  the  u,  with  posterior  and  exterior,  whicli 
are  written  without  iu 

8.  With  regard  to  retaining  or  omitting  the  « 
in  this  class  of  words,  there  is  a  great  want  of 
uniformity  in  general  usage.  In  the  United 
States,  it  is  the  prevailing,  though  by  no  means 
the  universal  practice,  to  exclude  the  w  from  all  of 
these  words.  In  England,  the  pi  evading  prac- 
tice is  to  retain  the  u  in  such  of  the  words  above 
enumerated,  as  are  not  derived  from  the  Latin, 
viz.,  armour,  behaviour,  demeanour,  enamour,  ct»- 
deavour,  harbour,  mijibehaviour,  misdemeanour, 
neighbour,  parlour,  saviour,  succour,  and  tabour, 
and  also  in  the  following  dissyllables,  Avhich 
are  of  Latin  origin,  viz.,ar6oKr,  ardour,  candour, 
cUmour,  colour,  favour,  fervour,  flavour,  honour, 
humour,  labour,  odour,  rancour,  rigour,  rumour^ 
splendour,  valour,  vapour,  vigour,  and  to  omit 
the  M  in  most,  if  not  all,  of  the  rest.  A  very  few 
persons  retain  the  m  in  the  above  enumerated 
words  which  are  not  of  Latin  origin,  and  omit  it 
in  all  the  others.    The  eye  is  oflTended  at  Be»^g 


ORTHOGRAPHY. 


e  word  spelled  in  a  manner  to  which  it  is  un- 
accustomed ;  and  the  eyes  of  most  readers 
would  now  be  offended  at  seeing  emperoury  ivfe- 
riour,  oratour,  possessour,  successour,  and  errour, 
written  with  the  u ;  and  those  of  many  are  of- 
fended by  seeing  yatjor,  hoiior,  and  savior,  writ- 
ten without  it.  It  is  difficult  to  fix  the  limit  for  a 
partial  omission;  and  the  rule  which  entirely 
excludes  the  «  from  this  class  of  words,  and 
which  is  in  accordance  with  the  prevailing  usage 
in  the  United  States,  is  the  most  convenient,  if 
not  the  most  unexceptionable  method. 

9.  The  following  rules  of  ortJiography  may  be 
useful  in  relation  to  several  classes  of  words. 

10.  Verbs  of  one  syllable,  ending  with  a  sin- 
gle consonant,  preceded  by  a  single  vowel,  (as 
plan,)  and  verbs  of  two  or  more  syllables,  ending 
in  the  same  manner,  and  having  the  accent  on 
the  last  syllable,  (as  regret,)  double  the  final 
consonant  of  the  verb,  on  assuming  an  addition- 
al syllable ;  as,  plan,  planned ;  regret,  regretted ;  — 
but,  if  a  diphthong  precedes  the  last  consonant, 
(as  join,)  or  the  accent  is  not  on  the  last  syllable, 
(as  suffer,)  the  consonant  is  not  doubled;  as, 
ioin,  joined;  suffer,  suffered, 

11  There  is  an  exception  to  the  last  clause 
of  the  preceding  rule,  with  respect  to  most  of  the 
verbs  ending  in  the  letter  /,  which,  on  assunung 
an  additional  syllable,  are  allowed,  by  general 
usage,  to  double  the  I,  though  the  accent  is  not 
on  the  last  syllable ;  as,  travel,  travelling,  trav- 
elled, traveller ;  libel,  libelling,  lileUed,  libeller, 
libellous.  But  the  derivatives  of  parallel  are 
written  without  doubling  the  final  Z;  as, paral- 
leled, unparalleled. 

12.  The  following  list  comprises  the  verbs 
ending  in  I,  which,  though  they  have  not  the 
accent  on  the  last  syllable,  yet  commonly  double 
the  final  2:  — 


apparel 

dishevel 

handsel 

model 

rival 

bevel 

drivel 

hatchel 

panel 

rowel 

bowel 

duel 

imperil 

parcel

gambol 

libel

counsel 

gravel

unravel 

13.  The  derivatives  of  these  verbs  are  spelled, 
In  the  Dictionaries  of  Perry  and  Webster,  with 
B  single  I ;  and  this  mode  is  also  more  or  less 
favored  by  tne  lexicographers  Ash  and  Walker, 
by  Bishop  Lowth,  and  by  some  other  scholars  j 
and  it  evidently  better  accords  with  the  an  ik>gy 


of  the  language,  though  the  prevailing  usage  is 
to  double  the  I. 

14.  The  verb  to  bias  commonly  doubles  the  a 
on  assuming  an  additional  syllable;  as,  biassing^ 
biassed,  biasser.  The  verb  to  kidnap,  on  assum* 
in g  another  syllable,  always  doubles  ihep;  and 
the  word  worship  also,  according  to  general 
usage,  does  so ;  as,  kidnapping,  kidnapped,  kid' 
napper ;  worshipping,  worshipped,  worshipper. 

15.  There  is  some  diversity  in  usage,  with  re* 
spect  to  several  other  verbs  ending  in  p,  and 
also  with  respect  to  several  ending  in  t,  which, 
although  the  accent  is  not  on  the  last  syllable, 
are  sometimes  allowed  to  double  the  last  conso- 
nant, when  another  syllable  is  added.  But  th» 
more  correct  and  regular  moile  is,  to  write  them 
without  doubling  the  final  consonant ;  as,  bene- 
fit, benefited ;  gallop,  gallu])ing. 

16.  There  is  a  class  of  words,  ending  in  <r«, 
as  centre,  metre.  See,  which  are  by  some  writteu 
center,  meter,  &c. ;  but  the  former  mode  is  sup 
ported  by  the  prevailing  usage. 

17.  There  is  a  diversity  with  respect  to  the 
use  of  the  letters  s  and  z  in  a  numbtr  of  verba 
ending  in  ijic  or  iie  ;  but  in  this  Dictionary,  verba 
derived  from  Greek  verbs  ending  in  «(w,  and 
others  formed  after  the  same  analogy,  are  writ- 
ten with  the  termination  iie;  as,  agonize,  chwT' 
acterize. 

18.  Derivative  adjectives  ending  in  able  are 
written  without  an  c  before  a  ;  as,  blamable,  mov- 
able, not  blameable,  moveable;  except  those  o( 
which  the  primitive  word  ends  in  ce  or  ge ;  in 
such  the  e  is  retained  to  soften  the  preceding 
consonant ;  as,  peaceable,  changeable. 

19.  Compound  words,  formed  by  prefixing  a 
word  or  syllable  to  a  monosyllable  ending  in  afl, 
retain  the  double  I;  as,  appall,  befall,  bethraU, 
downfall,  forestall,  fuibaU,  headstall,  install,  i/t- 
thrall,  laystall,  miscall,  overfall,  recall,  saveally 
thumhstall,  waterfall,  windfall.  —  Withal,  thero- 
withal,  and  wherewithal,  end  with  a  single  I. 

20.  A  class  of  other  compound  words  retaio 
the  final  double  I  which  is  found  in  the  simple 
words  ;  as,  bridewell,  foretell,  downhill,  uphill, 
molehill,  watcrmill,  windmill,  handmill. 

21.  Nouns  of  the  singular  number  ending  in 
ey  form  their  plural  by  adding  5  only  to  the 
singular  ;  as,  attorney,  attorneys  :  valley,  valleys. 
These  plurals  are  often  erroneously  written  at- 
tomies  and  vailies. 

29.  Nouns  ending  in  o,  preceded  by  another 
vowel,  form  their  plural  by  the  addition  of*;  as, 
e^meo,  cameos;  folio,  folios ;  but  if  the  final  o  iH 
preceded  by  a  consonant,  the  plural  is  common- 
ly formed  by  adding  es ;  as.  cargo,  cargoes.  TXm

27 


following  nouns,  however,  canto,  cento,  grotto, 
h^nto,  portico,  rotunda,  salvo,  aolo,  tyro,  duodecimo, 
octavo,  quarto.  Sec,  commonly  have  their  plural 
formed  by  the  addition  of  j  only  to  the  singular; 
is,  canto_  cantos.  Yet,  with  respect  to  the  plural 
Df  these  words,  usage  is  not  uniform ;  as  the 
plural  of  qitarto,  for  example,  is  sometimes  seen 
written  quartos,  and  sometimes  quartoes. 

23.  There  is  a  class  of  words,  which  have, 
in  their  aerivation,  a  twofold  origin,  from  the 
Latin  and  French  languages,  and  are  indiffer- 
ently written  with  the  first  syllable  en  or  in,  the 
former  being  derived  from  the  French,  and  the 
latter  from  the  Latin.  With  respect  to  some  of 
these,  it  is  difficult  to  determine  which  form  is 
best  supported  by  usage  ;  as,  for  example,  en- 
close or  inclose,  inquire  or  enquire,  insure  or  en- 


sure. A  few  of  this  class  of  words  are  found  in 
the  following  vocabulary,  and  others  are  noticed 
in  the  Dictionary. 

24.  The  following  words  are  generally  written 
without  an  e  after  g:  abridgment,  acknowledg 
ment,  and  judgment ;  though  many  write  them 
with  it,  —  abridgemcTit,  acknowledgement,  and 
judgement,  —  as  Johnson  and  other  lexicogra- 
phers spell   lodgement. 

25.  In  some  cases,  words  are  so  variously  af- 
fected by  etymology,  analogy,  and  general  usage, 
that  it  is  difficult  to  determine  what  orthography 
is  best  supixjrted  ;  as,  for  example,  connection  or 
connexion,  despatch  or  dispatch,  hindcrance  or  hin- 
drance, jail  or  gaol,  preterite  or  preterit,  recogni' 
lance  or  recognisance,  shew  or  iihoui,  sceptic  or 
skeptic,  thrash  or  thresh,  and  various  others. 


VOCABULARY    OF  WORDS    OF  DOUBTFUL    OR  VARIOUS    ORTHOGRAPHY. 


The  following  Vocabulary  contains  but  few 
of  the  words  which  belong  to. the  several  classes 
referred  to  in  the  preceding  remarks  ;  but,  with 
the  exception  of  these  classes,  it  comprises  nearly 
all  the  English  words  with  regard  to  which  a 
diversity  of  orthograpliy  is  now  often  met  with. 
—  Further  remarks  on  the  subject  of  English 
orthogiaphy  may  be  seen  in  tlie  Introduction  to 
the  Universal  and  Critical  Dictionary. 

The  orthography  in  the  left-hand  column  is 


deemed  to  be  well  authorized,  and  in  most  cases 
preferable  ;  but  with  respect  to  the  authority  of 
that  in  the  right-hand  column,  there  is  a  great 
diversity.  In  some  cases,  it  is  nearly  or  quite  as 
well  authorized  as  that  on  the  left-hand,  and  in 
some,  it  has  but  a  very  feeble  support.  Both 
orthographies  of  some  of  the  words  are  right, 
the  words  being  differently  spelled,  when  used 
in  different  senses  ;  as,  draught  or  draft,  forle  or 
fort,  subtle  or  subtile,  &.c.

FORMATION  OF  THE  ENGLISH  LANGUAGE 


FORMATION  OF  THE  ENGLISH  LANGUAGE. 


1.  The  Saxon  or  Anglo-Saxon  language, 
Which  is  a  branch  of  the  Teutonic,  is  the 
parent  language  of  the  English.  Some  of  the 
other  north  European  languages  of  the  Teu- 
tonic family,  which  have  contributed  to  enrich 
the  English  tongue,  are  the  Danish,  Swedish, 
Norwegian,  Icelandic,  German,  and  Dutch. 
The  south  European  languages  which  have  fur- 
nished the  largest  contributions,  are  the  Greek, 
Latin,  and  French ;  especially  the  Latin,  through 
the  medium  of  the  French  or  Norman  French  ; 
also,  the  Italian,  Spanish,  and  various  other  lan- 
guages, have  afforded  more  or  less. 

2.  The  term  Anglo-Saxon  is  derived  from  the 
Angles,  a  branch  of  the  Saxons  of  Lower  Ger- 
many, who  invaded  England  in  the  5th  century, 
and  established  their  authority  in  the  country. 
The  Anglo-Saxon  dynasty,  after  having  contin- 
ued about  six  hundred  years,  was  terminated  in 
1066,  by  the  invasion  of  William  Duke  of  Nor- 
mandy, commonly  called  the  Conqueror.  The 
Norman  French  now  became  the  language  of  the 
court  and  upper  classes,  while  the  Saxon  contin- 
ued to  be  the  only  speech  of  the  common  people 
or  peasantry.  These  two  languages  were  grad- 
ually blended  into  one,  and  became  the  basis  of 
the  present  English.  The  commencement  of 
the  English  language  is  fixed  at  about  the  mid- 
dle of  the  13th  century,  what  was  written  in 
England  after  that  time  having  so  much  resem- 
blance to  the  present  language  as  to  be  entitled 
to  be  called  English. 

3.  The  Anglo-Saxon  is  the  language  to  which 
the  English  owes  its  general  form  and  struct- 
ure, all  the  particles  on  which  its  syntax  de- 
pends, all  its  pronouns  and  conjunctions,  nearly 
all  its  prepositions,  most  of  its  monosyllables, 
and,  indeed,  all  the  words  that  are  most  fre- 
quently repeated  on  the  same  page. 

4.  The  predominance  of  Anglo-Saxon  will 
readily  be  seen  by  analyzing  a  passage  in  any 
common  English  writer.  Take,  for  example,  the 
common  English  version  of  the  Lord's  Prayer, 
which  contains  66  words,  of  which  all  except 
the  following  five,  namely,  debt,  debtor,  deliver, 
glory,  and  temptation,  are  Anglo-Saxon.  In  the 
first  chapter  of  the  common  English  version  of 
Bt.  John's  Gospel,  there  are  1003  words,  of 
which,  excepting  53  proper  names,  there  are 
only  55  words  that  are  not  Anglo-Saxon. 


5.  The  following  are  the  principal  Anglo-Sax'

7.  The  contributions  of  the  Latin  languagt 
to  the  English  are  next,  in  importance  and 
amount,  to  those  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  ;  and  these 
contributions  came  chiefly  through  the  medium 
of  the  French,  or  Norman  French,  in  conse- 
quence of  the  Norman  conquest.  It  has  been 
stated  by  some  philologists,  that  the  English  lan-^ 
guage  is  indebted  to  the  Latin  for  the  larger 
part  of  its  vocabulary.  This,  however,  is  a  greatly 
exaggerated  statement ;  yet  the  contributions 
from  that  language  are  great  and  important,  and 
they  enter  extensively  into  the  formation  and 
etymology  of  English  words.  The  Latin  haa 
furnished  a  large  portion  of  the  abstract  and 
general  terms,  especially  in  the  departments  of 
theology,  moral  and  political  philosophy,  and  all 
the  moral  sciences ;  also  a  great  part  of  the 
terms  used  in  polite  literature,  and  the  language 
of  polite  life.  A  great  part  of  the  military  terms 
in  English  come  directly  from  the  French.

14.  A  great  part  of  the  adjectives  are  formed 
by  a/&xing  to  tlie  rudicai  ports  of  words  the  fol- 


lowing terminations,  namely,  ae,  al,  an,  ar,  ary^ 
en,  ic,  ical,  id.  He,  ine,  ory,  ale,ful,  ose,  ous,  smiM,

radical  parts  of  words  the  following  terminations,

16.  A  great  many  adverbs  are  formed  from

PRONUNCIATION 


GREEK    AND    LATIN    PROPER    NAMES. 


REMARKS. 


The  following  vocabulary  of  Ch-eek  and  Latin 
Proper  J^ames  comprises,  in  addition  to  tlie 
names  found  in  Walker's  "  Key,"  about  3,000 
otlier  Greek  and  Latin  names.  Of  these  ad- 
ditional names,  about  2,400  have  been  taken 
from  Carr's  "  Classical  Pronunciation  of  Proper 
Names  ; "  between  500  and  600  are  names  which 
Were  added  by  Trollope,  in  his  edition  of  Walk- 
er's Key;  and  some  have  been  derived  from 
Scheller's  Latin  and  German  Lexicon. 

The  pronunciation  of  the  names  here  given 
Is,  in  most  cases,  in  accordance  with  that  found 
in  the  works  above  mentioned,  except  that  the 
Bystem  of  notation  used  in  this  Dictionary  has 
been  applied  to  these  names. 

The  pronunciation  of  a  considerable  number 
of  Greek  and  Latin  names,  as  given  by  Walker, 
has  been  shown  by  citations  from  the  Greek 
and  Latin  poets,  as  exhibited  by  Carr,  Sharpe, 
and  other  prosodists,  to  be  incorrect.  Such  of 
these  words  as  are  unquestionably  wrong  in 
Walker,  have  been  here  corrected  ;  as,  Lic'inus 
for  Lici'nus,  JVasi'ca  for  JVas'iea,  JVe'mea  for 
J^eme'a,  CEno'tri  for  (En'otri,  Pandi'on  for  Pan'- 
dion,  &.C.  Some  words  which  are  more  or  less 
doubtful,  and  with  respect  to  which  other  pros- 
odists differ  from  Walker,  are  here  given  in 
two  forms ;  as,  Bis'tonis  or  Bisto'nis,  Dor'yclus 
or  Dory'clus,  Ebor'acum  or  Ebara'cum,  Leon'a- 
tus  or  Leona'tiis,  fee.  Some  classical  names 
are  pronounced  differently  as  they  are  differ- 
ently used ;  as,  Belides,  Epiphania,  fee. ;  and 
Gome,  which  as  nouns  have  the  antepenulti- 
mate accent,  have,  when  used  as  adjectives, 
the  penultimate  accent ;  as,  Myr'inus,  Or'pheus, 
(nouns ;)  Myri'nus,  Orphe'm,  (adjectives.) 

There  is  a  class  of  proper  names  ending  in 


ia,  which,  in  their  ciassical  pronunciation,  hard 
the  accent  on  the  penultinuite ;  as,  Alezandri'a 
Cassandri'a,  Deidami'a,  Philadelphi'a,  Samari/a^ 
&c.  The  English  analogy  strongly  favors  the 
antepenultimate  accent  in  the  pronunciation  of 
this  class  of  words ;  and  Walker  countenances 
this  accent  in  relation  to  a  part  of  them,  especial- 
ly such  as  are  much  used  in  English,  and  have 
consequently  become,  in  a  measure,  Anglicized. 
The  following  words,  namely,  Alexandria,  Phil- 
adelphia, and  Samaria,  are  so  much  Anglicized, 
that  it  would  seem  pedantic,  in  reading  or 
speaking  English,  to  pronounce  them  otherwisa 
than  with  the  antepenultimate  accent.  But 
such  of  these  names  as  are  scarcely  at  all  Angli« 
cized,  as  Antiochia,  Deidamia,  Laomedia,  fee, 
may  very  properly  be  allowed  to  retain  their 
classical  accentuation. 

'l''here  are  various  other  classical  names  which 
have  become  more  or  less  Anglicized,  and  which 
have,  in  consequence,  had  their  pronunciatioa 
in  a  greater  or  less  degree  changed  from  the 
classical  standard.  Thus  Arius,  which,  in  Latin, 
is  pronounced  Ari'xis,  is,  in  English,  pronounced 
A' Ails;  and  Oranicus  and  Hi/perion,  which,  in 
Latin,  are  pronounced  Orani'cus  and  Hyperi'on^, 
are,  in  English,  often  pronounced  Oran'icue  and 
Hype'rion. 


Greek,  Latin,  and  Hebrew  names,  introduced 
into  modem  languages,  naturally  acquire,  in 
sound  and  rhythm,  the  main  characteristics  of 
the  different  languages  which  receive  them. 
That  which  is  chiefly  attended  to  and  sought 
after,  in  classical  names,  is  the  seat  of  the  ao 
cent;  and  when  the  seat  of  the  accect  and  tlM 


420 


GREEK  AND  LATIN  PROPER  NAMES. 


syllnbicfltion  are  determined,  these  names  are 
pronounced,  in  tlie  English  language,  according 
to  the  powers  of  the  letters  in  common  English 
words.  > 

In  Greek  and  Latin  names, the  letter^  has  its 
Boft  sound  before  the  vowels  e,  i,  and  y ;  but  in 
most  Scripture  proper  names,  it  has  its  hard 
Bound  before  these  vowels. 

The  letters  ch,  in  Greek  and  Latin  names, 
and  likewise  in  almost  all  Hebrew  names,  are 
sounded  hard,  like  k. 


Every  final  i,  though  unaccented,  has  its  long 
open  sound,  as  in  Molani.  But  when  t  or  iia 
equivalent  y  ends  an  unaccented  first  syllable 
of  a  word,  it  has,  in  some  cases,  its  long  sound, 
as  in  Bianor;  in  some,  it  takes  the  indistinct 
sound  of  c,  as  in  Cilicia ;  and  in  some,  it  is  dif- 
ficult to  determine  which  of  these  sounds  is  to 
be  preferred,  as  there  is  a  want  of  agreement 
with  respect  to  them,  both  among  orthoepista 
and  good  speakers. 


RULES    OF   PRONUNCIATION, 


27»€  following  Rules,  which  have  been  taken  substantially  from  Walker j  are  referred  to 
by  the  Figures  in  the  following  Vocalmlary. 


Rule  1.  —  The  consonants  c,  s,  t,  and  x,  before 
ta,  te,  ii,  io,  iu,  eu,  and  yo,  preceded  by  the  ac- 
cent, in  Latin  and  Greek  words,  as  in  English, 
commonly  take  the  sound  of  sh,  as  in  the  fol- 
lowing words:  Por'ti-a,  (por'she-a,)  j9-lex'i-a, 
(a-Iek'she-a,)  Chj'ti-e,  (kllsh'e-e,)  Hel-ve'ti-i, 
(hel-vg'she-I,)  Pho'ci-on,  (fo'she-on,)  Ac'ci-us, 
(Slk'she-us,)  Ca-du'ee-us,  (ka-du'she-iis,)  Si"cy- 
en,  (sish'e-on.)  —  When  5,  preceded  by  the  ac- 
cent, is  followed  by  ia  or  io,  it  takes  tlie  sound 
of  zh ;  as,  Mce'si-a,  (m5'zhe-a,)  Ile'si-od,  (hS'zhe- 
od,)  —  According  to  Walker,  the  words  ./isia, 
Sosia,  and  Theodosia,  are  the  only  exceptions. 

Rule  2.  —  In  some  proper  names,  t  preserves 
its  irue  sound;  as,  ^tion,  Am])hictyon,  Jindro- 
tion,  Eicrydon,  Oration,  Harpocration,  Hijrpotion, 
Iphition,  Motion,  Omytion,  Pallantion,  Philistion, 
Polytion,  Sotion,  Stration,  and  a  few  others ;  but 
JlepluBstion  and  Theodotion  are  Anglicized,  the 
last  syllables  being  pronounced  like  the  last  syl- 
lables in  question  and  commotion.  In  the  words 
JEsion,  LHonysion,  and  lasion,  the  *  takes  the 
sound  of  z,  but  not  of  zh. 


Rule  3.*  —  In  words  ending  in  eta,  eii,  eium, 
and  eius,  with  the  accent  on  the  e,  the  i  following 
the  accent  is  to  be  understood  as  articulating  the 
following  vowel  like  y  consonant ;  as,  Eleg-e'ia, 
(el-e-j5'ya,)  Pompeii,  (pom-p5'yi,)  Pompeium, 
(pom-pe'yum,)  Pompe'ius,  (pom-pe'yus.)  The 
same  rule  also  applies  to  words  ending  in  ia, 
preceded  by  a  or  o  having  the  accent  upon  it,  aa 
^cAa'i'a,  (a-ka'ya,)  Zato'ia,  (la-to'ya,)  and  like- 
wise to  words  having  the  accent  on  a  vowel, 
followed  by  ia,  though  they  may  not  end  the 
word,  as  Ple'iades,  (ple'ya-dez.) 

Rule  4.  —  The  diphthongs  <s  and  cb,  ending  a 
syllable  with  the  accent  on  it,  are  pronounced 
like  long  e,  as  in  Cai'sar,  (se'zar  ;)  but,  wlien  fol- 
lowed by  a  consonant  in  the  same  syllable,  like 
short  e,  as  in  Dced'alus,  (ded'a-lus.) 

Rule  5.  —  In  Greek  and  Latin  words  which 
begin  with  uncombinable  consonants,  the  first 
letter  is  silent ;  tiuis  C  in  Cneus  and  Ctesiphon, 
M  in  Mneus,  P  in  Psyche  and  Ptolemy,  JPA  in 
Phthia,  and  T  in  Tnwlus,  are  not  sounded. 


•  In  tha  diflerent  editions  of  Walker's  Kay,  there  i»  an  inconsistenc»  with  regard  to  the  class  of  words  ending  in  da,  «ti,  eiutiif 
and  tiui.  In  some  of  them,  the  accent  is  placed  on  the  «,  as  in  Apule'ius;  while  otliers  have  it  placed  on  the  i,  as  Pompeif- 
ut;  and,  in  some  cases,  the  same  word  is  differently  accented  in  the  Initial  and  Tenninational  Vocabularies;  but,  in  bil 
notet  on  the  terminations  eia  and  Hut,  in  the  Termliiatlonal  Vocabulary,  Walker  decides  in  favor  of  placing  the  accent  <m 
the  «,  including  the  whole  list  "  under  the  same  general  rule,  that  of  sounding  the  «  separately,  and  the  t  like  y  ( 
Id  ioia  Vocabulary,  all  the  words  of  this  class  hare  the  accent  placed  upon  the  «. 


GREEK  AND  LATIN  PROPER  NAMES. 


The  figures  annexed  to  the  words  refer  to  the  Five  Rules  of  PromuncuUion,  on  page  420      TJiUH 
the  figure  1,  annexed  to  Mantias,  refers  to  Rule  1,  which  shows  that  the  word  is  pronounced 

The  words  in  Italics  are  the  preceding  words  Anglicized,     Thus  the  Latin  word  Adrianu*  is 
changed,  in  English,  into  Adriaiu  "

PRONUNCIATION 


SCRIPTURE    PROPER    NAMES, 


EE3IARKS, 


1  The  pronunciation  of  but  a  small  part  of 
the  Scripture  Proper  Names  can  be  determined 
by  classical  authority ;  and  they  are,  therefore, 
more  conformed,  in  their  pronunciation,  to  the 
English  analogy  than  the  Greek  and  Latin 
proper  names. 

2.  One  of  the  principal  differences  between 
the  pronunciation  of  tlje  Hebrew  proper  names 
and  those  of  the  Greek  and  Latin,  relates  to  the 
sound  of  the  letter  g,  which,  in  Greek  and  Latin 
names,  is  soft  before  e,  t,  and  y;  as,  fiellius,  pip- 
piiu?,  fxyas ;  but  in  Hebrew  names  it  is  hard  ;  as, 
Gerizim,  pideon.  A  few  Hebrew  proper  names, 
however,  by  passing  througli  the  Greek  of  the 
New  Testament,  have  become  conformed  to  the 
rule  relating  to  words  from  the  Greek,  by  soften- 
ing the  g;  as,  pene^areth,  Bethpha^e. 

3.  The  letters  ck,  in  Hebrew  names,  are 
sounded  hard,  like  k ;  as,  ^hebar,  Enoqh ;  but  the 
words  Rachel,  Cherubim,  also  Cherub,  (an  angel,) 
are  Anglicized  in  their  pronunciation,  the  ch 
being  sounded  like  ch  in  cheer;  but  Cherub,  a 
city,  is  pronounced  ^Ac't-uA. 

4.  In  some  Scripture  names,  in  which  the 
vowels  ia  follow  an  accented  vowel,  the  a  is  ar- 


ticulated by  the  i,  like  y  consonant ;  as,  Achaia^ 
(?-ka'y?,)  haiah,  (i-za'ya ;)  but  a  part  cf  the 
Scripture  names  which  end  in  aiah  are  pro- 
nounced by  all  the  ortlioepists  with  the  accent 
on  the  i ;  as,  Shim-q-Vqh. 

5.  The  consonants  c,  s,  and  t,  before  ia  and 
iu,  preceded  by  the  accent,  in  a  number  of  Scrip- 
ture names,  take  the  sound  ofsh;  as,  Cappadocia^ 
Ada,  and  Galatia.  -' 

6.  The  following  vocabulary  exhibits  the  pro- 
nunciation of  Walker,  together  with  numerous 
deviations  from  him  by  the  following  orthoepists, 
namely,  Oliver,  Perry,  Smart,  Carr,  and  also 
Taylirr,  the  editor  of  "  Calmet's  Dictionary  of  the 
Bible." 

7.  With  respect  to  the  words  of  which  differ- 
ent pronunciations  are  here  given,  the  mode 
adopted  by  Walker  is  placed  first ;  but  there  are 
some  cases  in  which  the  mode  adopted  by  others 
is  doubtless  to  be  preferred  to  Walker's.  In  re- 
gard to  aJmoj!t  all  the  other  words,  respecting 
which  no  diversities  are  exhibited,  these  several 
orthtMipists  agree  with  Walker.

MODERN    GEOGRAPHICAL    NAMES. 


REMARKS. 


Ths  pronunciation  of  geographical  names  is  a 
rery  difficult  branch  of  orthoepy.  These  names 
pertain  to  all  parts  of  the  g.obe  ;  their  vernacular 
or  native  pronunciation  is  regulated  or  affected 
by  every  variety  of  language  ;  and  it  would  be 
impossible  to  represent,  in  all  cases,  the  native 
pronunciation  by  any  combination  of  English 
letters. 

There  are  a  great  many  names,  respecting  the 
pronunciation  of  which  it  is  difficult  to  deter- 
mine how  far  the  English  analogy  should  be 
allowed  to  prevail  over  the  analogy  of  the  lan- 
guages to  which  the  words  respectively  belong. 
If  we  look  for  authorities  for  the  pronunciation 
of  these  names,  we  find  comparatively  few ;  and 
Buch  authorities  as  exist  embiace  but  a  small 
part  of  the  words  of  this  class  ;  and  there  is  also 
much  disagreement  among  orthoepists  with  re- 
spect to  the  pronunciation  of  such  of  these 
names  as  they  undertake  to  pronounce. 


With  regard  to  the  geographical  names  whicll 
pertain  to  all  the  countries  in  which  the  Englisb 
language  is  spoken,  including  the  British  empire 
in  Europe,  the  United  States,  and  tlie  British 
provinces  generally,  their  pronunciation  is,  of 
course,  conformed,  for  the  most  part,  to  the 
analogy  of  the  English  language.  In  addition 
to  these,  all  the  geographical  names  which  be< 
long  to  other  parts  of  the  globe,  but  which  have 
become  Anglicized  by  having  changed  their 
native  form  and  assumed  an  English  orthogra- 
phy, are  also  conformed  to  the  general  principles 
of  English  pronunciation.  The  most  common 
geographical  names,  such  as  those  which  relate  to 
the  great  divisions  of  the  globe,  the  names  of  the 
countries,  kingdoms,  states,  princij>al  cities,  &c., 
are  differently  written,  aa  well  as  differently 
pronounced,  in  different  languages.  The  fol- 
lowing table  exhibits  a  few  examples  of  thia 
diversity,   by   way  of  illustration:  —

There  can  be  no  doubt  but  that  geographical

ferenfly  by  the  inhabitants  of  different  countries, 
and  in  accordance  with  the  analogies  of  thclj 
respective  languages.     All    the  common  gfo

graphical  names,  such  as  are  familiar  to  all 
intelligent  persons  have  become  more  or  less 
Anglicized,  and  tfc  sir  pronunciation  is  more  or 
less  conformed  to  he  English  analogy.  Many 
of  these  words  may  be  considered  as  perfectly 
Anglicized,  and  are  pronounced  as  common 
English  words ;  but  there  are  many  that  are 
only  partially  Anglicized,  and  with  regard  to 
such,  it  is  often  difficult  to  determine  how  far, 
in  pronouncing  them,  the  English  analogy  should 
be  allowed  to  prevail  over  that  of  the  language 
to  which  the  words  properly  belong. 

Some  foreign  geographical  names  are  intro- 
duced into  the  English  language  without  chang- 
ing their  orthography,  but  are,  nevertheless,  in 
their  pronunciation,  conformed  to  the  English 
analogy.  The  word  Paris,  for  example,  an 
Englishman  or  an  Anglo-American,  in  speaking 
his  own  language,  would  pronounce,  in  confor- 
mity to  it,  Par'is;  though,  if  he  were  speaking 
French,  he  would  pronounce  it  pdr-e,  in  confor- 
mity with  the  French  language. 

With  respect  to  the  class  of  words  which  are 
partially  Anglicized,  there  is  a  great  diversity  in 
the  manner  of  pronouncing  them.  Some  respect- 
able speakers  incline  to  pronounce  them,  for  the 
most  part,  according  to  the  English  analogy, 
while  others  aspire  to  pronounce  them  as  they 
are  pronounced  in  the  several  languages  to  which 
they  appertain ;  and  there  are  many  cases  in 
which  it  is  difficult  to  determine  which  is  to  be 
the  more  approved,  the  English  or  the  foreign 
method.  A  person  conversant  with  foreign  lan- 
guages will  be  likely  to  pronounce  such  words 
in  the  foreign  manner;  while  a  mere  English 
scholar  may  be  naturally  expected  and  permitted 
to  incline  more  strongly  to  the  English  mode. 
It  may  be  often  desirable  to  know  what  the  na- 


tive mode  of  pronouncing  such  words  is,thoogll 
it  may  not  be  advisable,  in  common  use,  to 
adopt  it. 

Proper  names  are  more  subject  to  a  corrupt 
pronunciation,  or  one  which  is  not  conformed  to 
the  orthography,  than  common  names.  A  con- 
siderable number  of  the  geographical  names 
pertaining  to  England  are  pronounced  very  dif- 
ferently from  what  their  orthography  indicates ; 
as,  for  example,  Chertsey  and  Cirencester,  pro- 
nounced ches'se  and  sis'e-ter.  Americans  are 
somewhat  less  inclined  to  deviate  from  orthog- 
raphy, in  the  pronunciation  of  some  words, 
than  the  English  are.  Berwick  and  Warwick^ 
for  example,  which  are  pronounced  in  England 
ber'ik  and  wor'ik,  are  very  often  pronounced,  in 
the  United  States,  as  they  are  spelled. 

The  following  vocabulary,  which  was  pre 
pared  and  published  some  years  since,  has  now 
been  considerably  enlarged  and  improved,  by 
further  inquiry,  and  by  the  examination  of 
various  new  authorities,  particularly  Mr.  Bald- 
win's Universal  Pronouncing  Gazetteer,  a  work 
in  which  the  subject  of  the  pronunciation  of 
geographical  names  has  been  attended  to  with 
much  care  and  intelligence.  Still  this  vocabu- 
lary, in  its  present  state,  is  very  imperfect.  The 
pronunciation  affixed  to  many  of  the  words  may 
be  objected  to  .as  not  the  most  proper.  A  per- 
son much  versed  in  foreign  languages  will  be 
likely  to  think  that  the  pronunciation  generally 
has  been  too  much  Anglicized  ;  while  a  mere 
English  scholar  will  think  it  is  not  sufficient!/ 
so ;  and  both  may,  doubtless,  make  out  a  plausi 
ble  case  in  favor  of  their  respective  views.  But, 
defective  as  it  is,  it  is  hoped  that  it  will  not  be 
found  a  useless  appendage  to  a  pronouncing 
dictionary. 


PRONUNCIATION  OF  SEVERAL  EUROPEAN  LANGUAGES. 


The  following  rules,  respecting  the  pronun- 
ciation of  certain  letters  in  the  principal  modem 
languages  of  continental  Europe,  may  be  of 
Bome  use  in  relation  to  the  pronunciation  of 
names  pertaining  to  the  several  countries  where 
these  languages  are  spoken,  though  it  may  be 
advisable  for  a  mere  English  scholar  to  make 
but  a  partial  application  of  ihem  in  practice. 

VOWELS. 

^. — The  vowel  a,  in  situations  In  which  the 

ftnak)gy  of  the  English  language  would  naturally 


give  it  the  sound  of  long  a,  has,  in  the  lan^nagefl 
of  the  continent  of  Europe,  what  iscallr.!  the 
Italian  sound,  that  is,  the  sound  of  a  in  fur  and 
father.  In  other  situations,  its  sound  approaches 
nearly  to  its  short  English  sound,  as  in  man,  fat. 

E.  —  In  these  languages,  the  sound  of  the 
vowel  e,  at  the  end  of  an  accented  syllable,  is 
the  same  as  that  of  the  English  long  a  in  fate 
name.  In  other  situations,  it  has  the  sound  of 
the  English  short  e,  as  in  tn£t,men. 

/.  —  The  long  sound  of  f,  In  these  languages 
is  the  same  as  in  the  English  word  marim 


PRONUNCIATION  OF  SEVERAL  EUROPEAN  LANGUAGES.   47a 


tcing  the  same  as  the  English  long  sound  of  e 
n  mete,  seen.  The  short  sound  is  the  same  as 
its  Engiish  short  sound,  as  in  pin. 

O.  — The  vowel  o  has  the  same  sounds  that 
it  has  in  English  in  the  words  note,  not,  and  nor. 

U  — The  vowel  u,  in  most  of  these  languages, 
has  the  same  sound  that  it  has  in  English  in  the 
word  rM?g,  being  the  same  as  oo  \x\  fool,  moon; 
and,  when  short,  it  has  the  sound  of  u  in  6uZZ,  oi 
of  00  in  ^ood.  The  sound  of  u  in  the  French  Ian., 
guage,  and  also  in  the  Dutch,  has  no  equivalent 
sound  in  English  ;  and  it  can  be  learned  only 
by  oral  instruction.  It  may  be  regarded  as  inter- 
mediate between  the  sound  of  long  c  and  oo, 
partaking  of  both. 

Y.  —  The  vowel  i/ has,  in  most  of  these  lan- 
guages, the  same  sound  as  i,  that  is,  of  long  e, 
as  in  me  ;  but  in  the  Dutcli  language,  it  has  the 
sound  of  the  English  long  t,  as  in  pine. 

DIPHTHONGS. 

j9E or  ^.  —The  sound  of  the  diphthong  ce. 
In  Dutch,  is  like  the  English  sound  of  a  in  far; 
in  German,  the  sound  of  cb  or  d  is  like  that  of 
.le  English  long  a,  as  in  fate. 

J?/  —  The  sound  of  the  diphthong  at,  in 
French,  is  like  that  of  the  English  long  a,  as 

fate;  in  Italian,  Spanish,  and  Portuguese, 
-fce  that  of  the  English  long  i,  as  in  pine. 

AUand  KdU.  —  The  diphthong  au,  and  the 
Iriphthong  eau,  in  French,  have  the  sound  of 
the  English  long  o,  in  note;  as,  Chaumont, 
(sho-mong',)  Beauvais,  (bo-va'.)  In  German, 
Italian,  Spanish,  and  Portuguese,  the  diphthong 
au  has  the  English  sound  of  ow  in  now ;  as,  .^as- 
terlitz,  («us'ter-lits.)  The  German  diphthongs 
'da  and  eu  have  a  sound  like  that  of  the  English 
diphthong  oi  in  toil;  as,  JVeustadt  (noi'stSt.) 

Eland  EY.  —  The  diphthongs  ei  and  ey,  in 
German,  have  a  sound  similar  to  the  English 
ijound  of  long  i  in  pine  ;  as,  Lelp'sic. 

EU.  —  The  French  diphthong  eu  has  a  sound 
similar  to  that  of  the  English  sound  of  e  in  her, 
or  M  in  fur. 

IE  —  The  diphthong  ic,  in  French,  German, 
Dutch,  <kc.,  has  the  sound  of  the  English  long 
«  in  mete ;  as  WiS'land. 

UE  or  U.  —  The  sound  of  the  German  diph- 
thong ue  or  tt  is  like  that  of  the  French  u. 

OCT.  —  The  French  diphthong  ou  has  the  sound 
»f  the  English  oo  in  tool ;  as,  Tdv^lOuse',  (t6-16z'.) 

OE  or  (5. —  The  sound  of  the  German  diph- 
thong oe  or  a  resembles  that  of  the  French  eu  ; 
but  it  has  no  equi  ^alent  sound  in  English,  and 


is  not  easily  explained.  It  may  be  conceived  io 
the  name  of  Goethe,  or  Oathe,  (thus  represent- 
ed, guet'ta,)  pronouncea  in  two  syllables,  the 
sound  of  u  and  of  e  in  her,  in  the  first  syllable, 
being  blended  together. 

CONSONANTS. 

The  sounds  of  most  of  the  consonants,  in  tha 
continental  languages,  are  the  same  as  in  Eng- 
lish. Some  of  the  principal  exceptions  are  tho 
following:  — 

B.  —  The  sound  of  6,  in  German,  at  the  end 
of  a  word,  is  like  that  of  the  English  p;  —  in 
Spanish,  between  two  vowels,  similar  to  v. 

C.  —  The  sound  of  c,  in  German,  before  «,  i, 
and  y,  is  like  that  of  t^  in  English  ;  —  in  Italian, 
before  e  and  i,  like  that  of  ch  in  the  English 
word  chill ;  in  Spanish,  before  e  and  i,  like  that 
of  tA  in  Viin. 

X).  — The  sound  of  d,  in  German  and  Dutch, 
at  the  end  of  a  word,  is  like  that  of  t  in  Eng- 
lish ; —  in  Danish  and  Spanish,  between  two 
vowels  or  at  the  end  of  a  syllable,  like  that  of 
th  in  this. 

O.  —  The  sound  of  g,  in  French,  before  i,  e, 
and  y,  is  like  that  of  zh  in  English  ;  —  in  Span> 
ish,  before  c  and  t,  the  same  as  the  Spanish  j  ;  — 
in  Italian,  before  e  and  i,  like  that  of  g  in  the 
English  word  gem,  or  j  in  jet;  — in  German,  at 
the  beginning  of  words,  it  is  hard,  like  g  in  getf 
and  in  words  ending  in  gen,  it  is  thrown  back 
on  the  penultimate  syllable;  as,  Hech'ing-en. 

J.  —  The  sound  of  j,  in  French  and  Portu- 
guese, is  like  that  of  ih  in  English  ;  —  in  Span- 
ish, it  is  like  that  of  h  strongly  aspirated;  —  in 
the  other  languages,  like  that  of  i/  consonant. 

X  —  The  sound  of  z,  in  Spanish,  is  like  that

in  the  English  word  chill;  in  Italian,  (as  hi 
words  from  the  ancient  langunges,  Hebrew 
Greek,  and  Latin,)  like  that  of  fc.  —  In  Germau 
and  Dutch,  it  has  a  hard,  guttural  sound,  not 
easily  represented  in  English,  but  resembling 
that  of  A  strongly  aspirated.  It  is  represented  in 
this  vocabulary,  as  it  is  in  others,  by  the  letter  A; 

TH.  —  The  digraph  th,  in  these  several  lan- 
guages, has  the  sound  of  t ;  as,  Theis     '«.)
